Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to determine the mid-term clinical, radiographic and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes and define the survival rate in patients who had undergone revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the single rotating hinged knee (RHK) design. Methods Between January 2004 and December 2013, 125 revision TKAs were performed at our institution using the single RHK implant. We conducted both a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected outcome data of these patients and a prospective follow-up study of all 39 living patients (41 knees). The follow-up phase included an optional extra follow-up visit, PROM questionnaires, and plain radiographs. Results The ten-year Kaplan-Meier survival rate of the revision RHK knees was 81.7% (95% CI 71.9–91.6%) with re-revision for any reason as the endpoint. Overall, 15 knees (12% of the total) underwent re-revision surgery during the follow-up. The median follow-up was 6.2 years (range, 0–12.7 years) post-operatively for the baseline group. One mechanical hinge mechanism-related failure occurred without any history of trauma or infection. At the time of the final follow-up, the majority of patients evinced a fairly good clinical outcome measured with patient-reported outcome measures and none of the components were radiographically loose. Conclusion We found that in patients undergoing complex revision TKA, fairly good functional outcome and quality of life can be achieved using an RHK implant. Further, it seems that in this type of patient cohort, revision TKA using an RHK implant relieves pain more than it improves ability to function. The NexGen® RHK design can be regarded as a suitable option in complex revision TKA.

Aims There is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of alternative polyethylene bearings in modular, fixed-bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to compare standard polyethylene (SP) and highly crosslinked polyethylene (XLP) tibial liners in posterior-stabilized TKA, with osteolysis as the primary outcome and clinical results and the rate of re-operation as the secondary outcomes. Patients and Methods This is a single-surgeon, prospective randomized study involving one design of modular posterior-stabilized TKA. An analysis of 122 TKAs with an SP compression moulded liner and 123 with an XLP liner was performed, with a mean follow-up of six years (2 to 11). Patients were evaluated clinically using the Knee Society score, Lower Extremity Activity Score (LEAS), and the presence of an effusion, and standard radiographs were assessed for radiolucent lines and osteolytic lesions. Results Osteolysis was present in four TKAs (3.3%) in the SP group, and no knees in the XLP group (p = 0.06). There were no significant differences between the Knee Society total score, change in total score, knee function score, change in function score, LEAS, and change in LEAS in the two groups. There was a significant difference in the presence of an effusion (10/122 with SP liners, 1/123 with XLP liners; p = 0.02). There was no significant difference in the rate of re-operation between the two groups (p = 0.36). There were no complications related to the XLP liner. Conclusion At this length of follow-up, there were no advantages and no complications related to the use of this XLP tibial liner. The presence of effusion and small osteolytic lesions was more frequent with SP than XLP liners, but of unknown clinical significance. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2019;101-B(7 Supple C):33–39

Abstract Background: The reconstruction of massive bone defects is one of the main challenges in revision total knee arthroplasty (RTKA). Although several methods are available, each of them has its prominent shortcomings. The purpose of this study is to review the clinical outcomes of RTKA with massive proximal tibial bone defects using patient-customized three-dimensional (3D)-printed highly porous metaphyseal cones.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed seven RTKAs with Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute (AORI) type III tibial defects using patient-customized 3D-printed highly porous metaphyseal cones, which have been performed at a single institution between 2016 and 2018. Results: The mean age at diagnosis of the patients was 68 years old (61-77). The mean length of follow-up was 25.3 months (19-36). At the latest follow-up, no aseptic loosening or prosthetic joint infection has been determined. The mean HSS increased from 49 (39-63) to 78 (70-83) (P<0.01); the mean WOMAC increased from 59 (46-73) to 26 (12-38) (P<0.01). All patients obtained the range of motion and mechanical alignment improvement postoperatively.Conclusion: The patient-customized 3D-printed metaphyseal cone could be a promising technique in addressing severe tibial defects in RTKA. Our study shows encouraging short-term clinical and radiological outcomes with no aseptic loosening, periprosthetic infection, or fracture. Nevertheless, further follow-up and the expansion of sample size are needed to demonstrate the advantage of this innovative technique fully.
