[2- to 5-year follow-up of cementless implantable knee joint prosthesis of the Miller-Galante type].
Based on a prospective study protocol, the two- to five-year results of the Miller-Galante cementless total knee arthroplasty are presented. Sixty-four implants were placed in 59 patients: 60 implantations were cementless and 4 cemented. Clinically, the scores for pain, range of motion, walking and stair climbing improved significantly. Radiographically, the uncemented components displayed no signs of definite or possible loosening, whereas one of the cemented components was found to be definitely loose. On histological evaluation of the retrieved implants, all components had bone ingrowth.
