title: [Scorpio TS prosthesis in severe deformity and revision knee arthroplasty--preliminary report].
abstract: Authors present early results of Scorpio TS prosthesis in primary and revision total knee arthoplasty due to aseptic and septic loosening. 26 arthroplasties were performed on 25 patients. There were 19 women and 6 men of age from 37 to 80 (average 68.4 years). 11 patients from this group were operated because of septic loosening. The follow up from 2 to 22 months (average 11 months). Early results were access according to Clinical Rating System of The Knee Society: 19 patients had very good and good (73%) including primaries, 1 satisfactory (4%) and 6 poor (23%) results. The satisfactory and poor results were obtained in 7 cases with septic loosening who had had four or more previous operations on the knee. Four of them had instability of prosthesis and we changed it for MRH type. In one case due to reinfection and sepsis amputation above the knee was performed. In another patient tibia fracture below stem and loosening of tibial component occurs after 6 months of revision. ORIF gave fracture union after 8 months and exchange Scorpio TS to MRH was performed. In two cases the wound problems occurred and was solved. There were no reinfection and aseptic loosening in another cases. We didn't notice any thrombosis complications.
