A ten-year follow up after cementless total knee arthroplasty in County General Hospital

Abstract

The aim of this long-term retrospective study was to evaluate the outcome of 109 cementless total knee arthroplasties performed in 101 patients at the General Hospital Bjelovar from January 2010 to October 2012. The survivorship of endoprosthesis and the clinical outcome were analyzed at the 10-year follow-up. The Oxford Knee Score was completed by 47% of patients with an average result of 31,2±9,4. There were two cases of aseptic loosening and one case of periprosthetic infection. Six patients suffered a periprosthetic fracture and were treated with osteosynthesis.
