title: Meniscal bearing uncemented total knee arthroplasty: early clinical results at a minimum 2-year review.
abstract: A prospective study of early clinical and radiologic outcome of the Motus (Osteo, Selzach, Switzerland) meniscal bearing total knee arthroplasty was performed. We reviewed the first 75 consecutive prostheses in 62 patients, implanted over a 4-year period. The mean follow-up was 2.5 years. Average preoperative knee score was 97 out of 200 (Knee Society score, 43; functional score, 54) and at 2-year review was 179 out of 200 (Knee Society score, 87; functional score, 92). Average postoperative flexion at 2 years was 113 degrees. No meniscal bearing subluxation, dislocation, or breakages occurred. Radiologically, there was no evidence of subsidence or osteolysis. Our results support the continued use of this meniscal bearing knee prosthesis. It is important to confirm, however, an equal flexion and extension gap without proximal joint line migration.
