Abstract/Text
We analysed the long-term results with a mean follow-up of 10.2 years, of 66 total knee replacements in 42 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In all cases the posterior cruciate ligament was retained. There were only three complications (4.5%). Revision surgery was necessary in five knees (7.6%), including one (1.5%) with infection. At the final follow-up, 75.8% of knees were rated excellent clinically. Only 15% had an excellent function score. The survival rate of the implant was 90.7% at 19 years. The clinical, radiological and survivorship analysis shows that the posterior-cruciate-retaining knee arthroplasty performs well in rheumatoid arthritis.
