Knee arthroplasty at the London Hospital. 1975-1984.
In the past ten years, three related prostheses (Freeman-Swanson, ICLH, Freeman-Samuelson) have been used at the London Hospital. The new findings reported in this article are the result of cementless fixation of the ICLH prosthesis has not deteriorated with time; the patellofemoral complications and postoperative limitation of movement seen with the ICLH prosthesis has been resolved by the Freeman-Samuelson design; and cementless press-fit fixation of all three components of the Freeman-Samuelson design resulted in a 1.6% (tibial) revision rate in the first four years.
