Mid-term survivorship and clinical outcomes of revision knee arthroplasty using a mobile bearing tibial tray: A single-center registry review.

Abstract

Revision total knee arthroplasty can successfully restore function and relieve pain for patients with failed knee replacements. Mobile-bearing implants were designed to provide greater congruency between the implant and the polyethylene insert. The goal of this study was to review the clinical outcomes and survivorship for a revision mobile-bearing tibial design. A retrospective outcomes review was conducted to assess survivorship and clinical outcomes for a mobile bearing tibial tray, used with metaphyseal sleeves, in revision total knee arthroplasty. At time of furthest follow-up, KM estimates (95% CI; n with further follow-up) for all-cause revision were 82.5% (75.8%; 87.5%; 42) at 7 years for the clinical assumption (CA), and 88.5% (84.4%,91.6%; 53) at 13 years for the registry assumption (RA). For revision of the tray as the endpoint, survivorship estimates were 93.4% (87.0%,96.7%; 42) at 7 years for CA, and 96.2% (93.2%,97.9%; 53) at 13 years for RA. In this single-center registry evaluation, we found excellent mid-term survivorship and clinical outcomes for a mobile-bearing tibial tray used with metaphyseal sleeves in revision total knee arthroplasty.
