Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine early survivorship and complication rates associated with the implantation of a new patient-specific unicompartmental knee implant cast from a three-dimensional (3D) printed mold, introduced in 2012. We retrospectively reviewed 92 consecutive patients who underwent unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) with a patient-specific implant cast from a 3D printed mold between September 2012 and October 2015. The early results of a patient-specific UKA implant were favorable in our cohort, with survivorship free from reoperation of 97% at an average 4.5 years follow-up. Future studies are necessary to investigate the long-term performance of this implant. Survivorship of a patient-specific unicompartmental knee arthroplasty implant cast from a 3D printed mold.
