AbstractIntraoperative assessment of valgus–varus stability is crucial for choosing articular surfaces with different levels of constraint. Legacy constrained condylar knee (CCK) prostheses are readily available to assemble and use with a CCK articular surface or a posterior stabilized (PS) articular surface in revision knee arthroplasty surgeries. We wanted to validate outcomes of revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using legacy CCK prostheses combined with a PS articular surface. Thirty-seven patients were enrolled and followed up for more than 2 years. Range of motion (ROM), the Knee Society score (KSS), the Knee Society functional score (KSS-F), and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) were used to evaluate outcomes. Follow-up was a mean of 86.5 months (range: 28–152 months). The mean age of the participants was 69.8 years (range: 31–86 years). The mean ROM was 110.5 degrees, the KSS was 86.2 points, the KSS-F was 68.3 points, and the WOMAC score was 22.6 points. Seven participants had implant failures: five because of delayed infections and two because of posterior dislocations. In conclusion, revision TKA using a CCK prosthesis combined with a PS articular surface might provide satisfactory mid-term outcomes. Delayed infection was the most common cause of implant failure. Dislocation might occur in middle-old or older patients despite careful intraoperative examination of valgus–varus stability, extension–flexion gap balancing, and signs of recurvatum.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether there are any differences in outcomes and complication rates between condylar constrained knee (CCK) and rotating hinge knee (RHK) prostheses used for the first revision of total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) after mechanical failure. Methods: Sixty-three consecutive non-septic revisions of posterior stabilized implants using 33 CCK and 30 RHK prostheses were included. Clinical evaluation and revision rate were compared between the two groups at two years minimum follow-up. Results: The CCK group had significantly better clinical outcomes and satisfaction rates compared to patients with RHK (KSS-knee 70.5 versus 60.7 (p < 0.003) and KSS-function 74.9 versus 47.7 (p < 0.004) at 3.7 (2.0–9.4) years mean follow-up. Moreover, the clinical improvement was significantly higher for the CCK group concerning the KSS-Knee (+23.9 vs. +15.2 points, p = 0.03). The postoperative flexion was significantly better in the CCK group compared to the RHK group (115° vs. 103°, p = 0.01). The prosthesis-related complications and the re-revision rate were higher in the RHK group, especially due to patellofemoral complications and mechanical failures. Conclusions: CCK prostheses provided better clinical and functional outcomes and fewer complications than RHK prostheses when used for the first non-septic rTKA. CCK is a safe and effective implant for selected patients, while RHK should be used with caution as a salvage device for complex knee conditions, with particular attention to the balance of the extensor mechanism.
