TLDR
Forty knees with total condylar prostheses have been followed for ten years or more and, provided that the operation is correctly performed, conventional polymethyl methacrylate cement fixation is completely adequate.Abstract:
Forty knees with total condylar prostheses have been followed for ten years or more. There were five failures, one due to infection and four directly related to either improper selection or technical reasons. Thirty-five knees (87.5%) have a satisfactorily functioning arthroplasty after ten years. There were no loose components and no complete radiolucent lines. Technique and correct alignment are most important and, provided that the operation is correctly performed, conventional polymethyl methacrylate cement fixation is completely adequate. The absence of progressive adverse radiologic changes suggests that knee arthroplasties have a considerable life expectancy.read more

Malrotation causing patellofemoral complications after total knee arthroplasty.
TL;DR: In this article, the epicondylar axis and tibial tubercle were used as references on computed tomography scans to measure quantitatively rotational alignment of the femoral and Tibial components.

Total Knee Replacement in Young, Active Patients: Long-Term Follow-up and Functional Outcome
TL;DR: Arthroplasty with cementing of a posterior stabilized total knee prosthesis is considered to be effective operative treatment with durable results for osteoarthrosis in younger patients when other, less invasive measures have failed.

Survivorship of cemented knee replacements
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the failure rate and overall success of 1,430 cemented primary total knee arthroplasties performed at The Hospital for Special Surgery over a 15-year period.

Functional outcome and patient satisfaction in total knee patients over the age of 75.
TL;DR: Based on this patient-assessed outcome analysis, total knee arthroplasty is a worthwhile and beneficial procedure in the elderly.

Long-Term Results of Total Condylar Knee Arthroplasty
TL;DR: The use of the more cost-effective and durable all-polyethylene tibial component for a primary cemented total knee arthroplasty, particularly in Asians with a relatively low weight and who are relatively inactive, especially in elderly people are recommended.

The influence of total knee-replacement design on walking and stair-climbing.
TL;DR: It appears that patients with less constrained cruciate-retaining designs of total knee replacement have a more normal gait during stairclimbing than patients with more constrained cruCIate-sacrificing designs.

The total condylar knee prosthesis. A report of two hundred and twenty cases.
TL;DR: The total condylar knee prosthesis is a non-hinged surface replacement which can be used for almost all knee deformities and was used for the first consecutive 220 arthroplasties in 183 patients.

TL;DR: The long-term success of current total knee designs will probably not be significantly affected by polyethylene wear or loss of component fixation, and the majority of failures in the series were attributed to errors in surgical technique.

Total condylar knee replacment: preliminary report.
TL;DR: The Total Condylar Prosthesis is a non-hinged unit designed to replace the patellofemoral articulation; improve fixation of the tibial component by means of a stout central peg; permit accurate and reproducible insertion.
