AbstractLoosening is considered as a main cause of implant failure in total knee replacement (TKR). Among the predictive signs of loosening, migration is the most investigated quantitative parameter. Several studies focused on the migration of the tibial component in TKR, while no reviews have been focused on the migration of the femoral component and its influence on patients’ clinical outcomes. The aim of this narrative review was (1) to provide information about of the influence of migration in femoral component of TKR prostheses, (2) to assess how migration may affect patient clinical outcomes and (3) to present alternative solution to the standard cobalt-chrome prostheses. A database search was performed on PubMed Central® according to the PRISMA guidelines for studies about Cobalt-Chrome femoral component migration in people that underwent primary TKR published until May 2020. Overall, 18 articles matched the selection criteria and were included in the study. Few studies investigated the femoral component through the migration, and no clear migration causes emerged. The Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis has been mostly used to assess the migration for prognostic predictions. An annual migration of 0.10 mm seems compatible with good long-term performance and good clinical and functional outcomes. An alternative solution to cobalt-chrome prostheses is represented by femoral component in PEEK material, although no clinical evaluations have been carried out on humans yet. Further studies are needed to investigate the migration of the femoral component in relation to clinical outcomes and material used.
