Abstract
Median 14-year follow-up (mean 11.8 years) of a cemented primary posterior cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) utilizing the Press-Fit Condylar (PFC) Sigma design was evaluated in 77 patients (79 TKA). Follow-up assessment included implant survivorship, x-rays, Knee Society rating system, and clinical evaluation. Radiographic analysis demonstrated minor non-progressive osteolysis in 40% (10/25) knees. Two revisions, one for instability at 4 years and one for polyethylene wear at 10 years were performed. Survivorship of the PFC Sigma knee implant was 97% using revision for any reason and 100% using aseptic loosening as endpoints. The PFC Sigma had excellent survivorship at 14 years, the longest clinical follow-up reported.
