Debris-induced osteolysis due to surface wear is a potential long-term problem in total knee replacements (TKRs). Wear between the tibial tray and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene insert is thought to contribute to the wear. This study investigated the influence of tibial tray design on the wear of fixed-bearing TKRs. Specifically, this study investigated the influence of the material's surface finish and design characteristics of the locking mechanism of the tibial tray on the wear in fixed-bearing knees for both cruciate-retaining (CR) and posterior-stabilized designs. A new fixed-bearing tibial tray design using Co—Cr and with an improved locking mechanism significantly reduced polyethylene wear from 22.8 ± 6.0 mm3 per 106 cycles to 15.9 ± 2.9 mm3 per 106 cycles compared with a previous titanium alloy tray with a CR design. The wear rates were similar to those of a fixed-bearing insert clamped into a tibial tray, suggesting that the decrease in wear was due to a reduction in backside wear. There was no significant difference between the wear rates of a cruciate-retaining design and a posterior-stabilized design under the two kinematic conditions tested.
