Cementless LCS rotating-platform knee arthroplasty in patients over 60 years without patella replacement: a mid-term clinical-outcome study.

Background: The aim of this prospective paper is to present the results of a cementless LCS rotating-platform artificial knee design without resurfacing of the patella in patients over 60 years of age.

Material/methods: In this prospective series, 234 patients were included with 251 knees. The LCS rotating-platform uncemented design was used in all cases, without replacement of the patella.

Isolated meniscal repair in the avascular area.

The authors present the results of a prospective cohort study carried out in young patients, to evaluate the outcome of meniscal repair in the avascular region of the meniscus. Forty five patients underwent either open (23 patients) or arthroscopic repair (22 patients) between 1982 and 1992. Seventeen men and eight women were included in the present study; their ages at the time of admission ranged from 16 to 27 years.
