Article Synopsis
- This study compared two different surgical approaches for addressing stiffness after knee replacement: liner exchange (LE) and component revision (CRev).
- A total of 129 patients who had revision surgery for stiffness were analyzed, showing that both methods provided similar improvements in range of motion and long-term success rates.
- Although both techniques were effective, CRev involved longer surgery times, more blood loss, and longer hospital stays compared to LE, suggesting that LE may be a better option for selected patients with stiffness after knee replacement.
Background: The purpose of this study is to assess the short-term survivorship of a new cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) design in comparison to its cemented predecessor design in a young patient cohort less than 65 years of age.
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study of all primary TKAs (cemented and cementless) in patients under the age of 65 at the time of the index procedure, in a single institution between May 2018 and May 2019. Primary outcome variables included aseptic revision and all-cause revision.
» The demographic profile of candidates for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is shifting toward younger and more active individuals.» While cemented fixation remains the gold standard in TKA, the interest is growing in exploring cementless fixation as a potentially more durable alternative.» Advances in manufacturing technologies are enhancing the prospects for superior long-term biological fixation.

Risk factors for failure of MUA remain largely unknown. The primary aim of this study was to identify risk factors for failure of MUA after TKA.
