Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the 6-year clinical outcomes of a total knee arthroplasty system with a modern universal femoral component, focusing on results from a single surgeon over a 131 patient sample.
- The retrospective review showed significant improvements in Knee Society scores and range of motion after surgery, with a mean patient age of 67.4 years and a BMI of 32.6.
- Out of the 149 knees assessed, 9 required reoperation for various issues, but overall the findings indicate excellent clinical results with no instances of patellar maltracking.
Article Synopsis
- A new knee arthroplasty system, designed to fit a variety of patient anatomies, was evaluated for its early clinical outcomes over at least two years after surgery.
- The study included 797 patients who had TKA with this system from 2015 to 2019, assessing various metrics like range of motion and knee scores postoperatively.
- Results showed significant improvements in knee function and pain relief, with a 6.2-year survival rate of 98.4% for any revision, indicating the system's effectiveness and reliability.
Background: There has been increasing utilization of ultracongruent bearings with a cruciate retaining (CR) femoral component in primary total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes and survivorship between an ultracongruent anterior stabilized (AS) and CR bearing.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed from 2010 through 2014 of all primary total knee arthroplasties with a single knee systems identical CR femur and AS or CR bearing with minimum 2-year follow-up yielding a study cohort of 3323 patients (4164 knees).
Background: Most implants for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are comprised of alloys that contain nickel. Controversy exists whether metal allergies produce negative effects and affect clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively review a minimum 2-year follow-up with an ion-bombarded titanium TKA implant in patients with reported metal sensitivity.

The hypothesis tested was that the use of a 50-mm stem extension on a cementless tibial component would limit motion compared with an identical cementless component without a stem extension.
Methods: The study used 3 variations of a tibial component from the same total knee arthroplasty system.
Background: As total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continues moving to the outpatient arena, the demand for revision surgery will subsequently increase which draws into question the feasibility for some revision scenarios as an outpatient. The purpose of this study is to report on the safety of outpatient revision knee arthroplasty.
Methods: From June 2013 through December 2018, 102 patients (106 knees) underwent revision knee arthroplasty at a free-standing ambulatory surgery center.
Background: At the turn of the 21st century, there was a re-emergence of metal-on-metal (MoM) articulation with 35% of all total hip arthroplasty implants having MoM articulation. Approximately 10 years after its peak use, MoM articulation began to decrease dramatically as revisions became more apparent because of adverse reaction to metal debris. Today, there are surveillance guidelines and reconstructive clinical pearls a surgeon should recognize.

Materials/methods: From December 2005 to June 2015, minimum 2-year follow-up was available on 96 patients (103 TKA) who underwent primary TKA with an MLC bearing using the Vanguard Total Knee System.
