Background and Methods: Postoperative complications may impair the outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Patellar instability is a major cause of postoperative pain and functional limitation for which revision surgery may be necessary [1]. It may occur after TKA with or without patellar resurfacing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Subluxation is more common than dislocation; the incidence of symptomatic instability leading to revision is low (0.5 to 0.8%) [2, 3]. In a multicentre study of low contact stress mobile bearing TKAs, only 6 of 259 revisions were associated with patellar instability, which accounted for a revision rate of 0.1% after a mean follow-up duration of 5.7 years [4]. A revision rate of 12% was reported secondary to complications of the extensor mechanism [5]. The aetiology of patellofemoral instability can be related to (1) the surgical technique and component positioning, (2) extensor mechanism imbalance, and (3) other causes.

Intro- For TKA, there are two types of bearing designs: xed-bearing and mobile-bearing. Round femoral components articulate with a relatively at tibial articular surface in a xed-bearing knee design. Because the insert does not hinder the natural movements of the femoral component, the mobile-bearing (MB) TKA design is thought to allow more exibility of motion than the xed-bearing (FB) variety. Aim and objective: To compare xed bearing and mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty. Material and methods:This study is a prospective type of study done at Seth GS medical college Mumbai, Department of Orthopaedics during August 2019 to June 2021 on patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. Patients who were to undergo total knee arthroplasty were invited to take part in the study. This study, done on them was explained in detail to them. An informed consent was obtained. Patients fullling the inclusion criteria were listed. Result: Range of motion achieved after mobile arthroplasty was 123.62±2.94 and in xed arthroplasty it was 121.96±2.74. Pain after last follow up in mobile arthroplasty was 48.83±0.62 and for xed arthroplasty was 47.39±0.86. Flexion gap after last follow up in mobile arthroplasty was 24.13±0.45 and in xed was 24.02±0.45. Stability was almost similar in both mobile and xed arthroplasty. Conclusions: there is no signicant difference between xed arthroplasty and mobile arthroplasty as far as Range of motion, Pain ,Flexion gap. Stability was almost similar in both mobile and xed arthroplasty.

Total knee arthroplasty using navigation system is known to be more effective than conventional methods in achieving more accurate bone resection and neutral alignment.1 Mobile bearing is also known to reduce wear and automatically correct rotational malalignment of the tibia but the long-term follow-up results of more than 10 years are extremely rare.2, 3 The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of clinical and radiologic long-term follow-up and complications of total knee arthroplasty using navigation and multi-directional mobile bearing.From 2003 to 2006, a total of 111 navigation TKAs using multi-directional mobile bearing design were carried out and reviewed retrospectively. TKAs were performed by two experienced surgeons at one institute. Of the 111 patients, 102 were women and 9 were men. The mean duration of follow-up was 11.4 ± 1.0 years (range, 10.1 to 14.08 years). Clinical outcomes were evaluated in terms of Knee Society Score, Hospital for Special Surgery score, Western Ontario and McMaster University (WOMAC) score, range of motion and complications. Long-term radiological outcomes and survival rates were evaluated at least 10 years.Average preoperative HSS score was 66.5 ± 9.8 and KSS pain and function score were 25.0 ± 11.8 and 44.5 ± 12.3, respectively. Scores improved to 94.1 ± 8.2, 46.6 ± 11.6 and 88.2 ± 14.6 at the last follow up, respectively. Mean preoperative WOMAC scores of 75.8 ± 16.5 improved to 13.8 ± 16.0 at last follow-up. Five knees required re-operation, two for liner breakage, one for liner wear, one for distal femoral fracture and one for infection. The estimated 10-year prosthesis survival rates for any reason and for prosthesis-related problems were 95.5% and 97.4% , respectively.TKAs using each techniques resulted in similar good clinical outcomes and postoperative leg alignments. Robotic and navigation TKA appeared to reduce the number of postoperative leg alignment outliers and revision rate compared to conventional TKA.

Abstract Purpose The NexGen Legacy Posterior Stabilised (LPS) prosthesis (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) has augmentable and non-augmentable tibial baseplate options. We have noted an anecdotal increase in the number of cases requiring early revision for aseptic loosening since adopting the non-augmentable option. The purpose of this study was to ascertain our rates of aseptic tibial loosening for the two implant types within five years of implantation and to investigate the causes for any difference observed. Methods A database search was performed for all patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the NexGen LPS between 2009 and 2015. Kaplan–Meier curves were plotted to assess for differences in revision rates between cohorts. We collected and compared data on gender, age, body mass index, component alignment and cement mantle quality as these were factors thought to affect the likelihood of aseptic loosening. Results Two thousand one hundred seventy-two TKAs were included with five year follow-up. There were 759 augmentable knees of which 14 were revised and 1413 non-augmentable knees of which 48 were revised. The overall revision rate at five years was 1.84% in the augmentable cohort and 3.4% in the non-augmentable cohort. The revision rate for aseptic loosening was 0.26% in the augmentable group and 1.42% in the non-augmentable group (p = 0.0241). Conclusions We have identified increased rates of aseptic loosening in non-augmentable components. This highlights the effect that minor implant changes can have on outcomes. We recommend that clinicians remain alert to implant changes and publish their own results when important trends are observed.

Abstract Background The benefits and risks of fixed-bearing and mobile-bearing designs for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were compared, and long-term functional, clinical and radiological outcomes were analysed. Methods A comprehensive search in the PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central databases was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing fixed-bearing and mobile-bearing designs with no less than 9 years of follow-up. Primary outcome measures were Knee Society Scores (KSSs), range of motion (ROM) in knee joint values, complication rates and revision rates. The final search was performed on 23 April 2021. Results Six RCTs were included. A total of 451 patients with 612 knees met the inclusion criteria. The mobile-bearing design, in contrast to the fixed-bearing design, can clearly increase the KSFSs, especially with posterior cruciate retention. There was no significant difference in the KSKSs, ROM values, revision rates or complication rates between the two bearing design groups. Conclusion After approximately 10 years of follow-up, the mobile-bearing design has advantages in KSFSs over the fixed-bearing design. The mobile-bearing design may also have advantages in the revision rates over the fixed-bearing design when the posterior cruciate ligament is substituted. There may be no clear difference in KSKSs, ROM values or complication rates between these two designs.
