title: Mid-term results with a highly congruous mobile-bearing knee prosthesis.
abstract: Two hundred and six consecutive total knee arthroplasties were performed in 180 patients with a highly congruous mobile-bearing knee prosthesis. At mean follow-up of 78 months (range: 60-102 months), the outcomes of 181 knees in 158 patients were evaluated using the American Knee Society's Knee and Functional scoring system and Radiological scoring system. Mean values for Knee and Function scores were 92.6 and 81.1, respectively versus 51.8 and 43.4 preoperatively; mean flexion range was 113.6 degrees versus 110.8 degrees preoperatively. There were no cases of bearing dislocation and no radiological signs of loosening or osteolysis. Secondary patella resurfacing was done in 7 of 52 knees in which the patella was not primarily resurfaced. Arthroplasty survival with revision for aseptic loosening as the endpoint was 100% (95% CI: 97.7-100) at 5 years and at 8 years (95% CI: 87.2-100); with revision of the arthroplasty for any reason including one revision for infection as the endpoint, survival was 99.5% (95% CI: 96.9-100) at 5 years and at 8 years (95% CI: 86.9-100). The overall results were satisfactory and compared with those of other mobile-bearing knee prostheses featuring full or partial congruence. No significant differences were noted for range of motion, knee scores and function scores between two subsets of knees that received a bearing allowing only rotation or rotation and 5 mm anteroposterior translation. Longer follow-up is needed to evaluate possible benefits of high congruence and of specific modes of bearing mobility with respect to wear and bony fixation.
