Abstract
Anterior knee pain (AKP) has been a persistent complaint after total knee arthroplasty; however, the natural course of this complaint has not been fully investigated. This is a 10-year follow-up report of a prospective, randomized study between the Insall-Burstein II (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) and the Press Fit Condylar Modular (Johnson & Johnson, Raynham, MA) knees. Up to one third of total knee arthroplasties will experience mild to moderate AKP at 1-year follow-up, which will persist in approximately 30% of these previously symptomatic knees at 10-year follow-up. New-onset AKP will develop in approximately 10% of previously asymptomatic knees.
