The purpose of the current study was to compare retrospectively the results of the Insall-Burstein constrained condylar knee implant used with and without intramedullary stems in 207 revision knee arthroplasties with the Insall-Burstein constrained condylar knee implant. One hundred sixty-one knees had either one or two stems placed. One hundred eight femoral stems and 76 tibial stems were placed. Fifty-five knees had no femoral or tibial stem. The average knee scores ranged from 52 preoperatively to 86 postoperatively. The average range of motion postoperatively was 4 degrees (range, 0 degrees -10 degrees ) to 106 degrees (range, 94 degrees -118 degrees ) in this group. The average postoperative knee score was 86 in the unstemmed group and 85 in the stemmed group with no difference in average range of motion. There were four (3%) cases of tibial loosening and two (2%) cases of femoral loosening in the unstemmed group. There were two (2%) cases of tibial loosening and two (2%) cases of femoral loosening at an average followup of 4.2 years (range, 2-6.2 years). Despite the higher constraint inherently designed in an Insall-Burstein constrained condylar knee component, the current study did not show a significantly higher loosening in implants without stems compared with implants used with stems. Therefore, the use of a semiconstrained component does not alone constitute a requirement for the use of an intramedullary stem.

Tibial post wear in posterior-stabilized knee replacements is design-dependent.

Polyethylene tibial post wear in posterior-stabilized knee designs is a major problem. The Insall-Burstein II (IB PS II) reportedly has severe anterior wear of the post in retrieved implants. We hypothesized the more anterior placement in the IB PS II would be reflected in greater wear at the anterior face than the IB PS I.

Orthopaedic Surgery Practice, Sterling, Virginia, USA.
Supracondylar femur fracture above a well-fixed posterior cruciate substituting prosthesis may not allow the use of standard fixation methods because of the closed nature of the femoral box. The Insall-Burstein Constrained Condylar Knee femoral prosthesis (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) possesses a closed box and the capability of modular femoral stems. A retrieval device aids the utilization of the modular ability of the femoral prosthesis to gain intramedullary fixation of supracondylar femur fractures above a well-fixed femoral component allowing restoration of alignment, length, preinjury range of motion, and function.

COT Unit, Gomez Ulla University and Central Military Hospital, Madrid, Spain.
We undertook a clinical and surgical study with evaluation of the long-term results (average 5 years, range 1-9 years) of 193 stabilized posterior cemented total knee replacements (TKRs) type Insall-Burstein in patients with severe osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), carried out consecutively by the same surgeon from January 1986 to January 1995, at our COT Unit at the Central Military Hospital "Gomez Ulla" in Madrid, in collaboration with the Departments of Traumatology and Morphological Sciences of the University of Alcala de Henares (Madrid). The principal purpose was to examine the success rate of this type of prothesis implanted during primary surgery, according to severity of the case. Six methodology protocols were produced in this study (exploratory, surgical technique in primary surgery, revision surgery, rehabilitation, evaluation and clinical revisions), and satisfactory statistical results (SPSS/PC+) were obtained with the three scales of evaluation: Harris Galante, The Hospital for Special Surgery and Knee Society.

Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, New York.
Fourteen patients with severe angular knee deformities (range, 30 degrees varus to 35 degrees valgus) had total knee arthroplasty using autogenous bone graft to the tibia. Twelve knees had osteoarthritis, one rheumatoid arthritis, and one gouty arthritis. The preoperative knee motion averaged -5 degrees of extension to 80 degrees of flexion and the average motion arc was 70 degrees.
