ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
This retrospective study aimed to compare stability and clinical and radiological outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for the GRADIUS and multi-radius femoral designs after minimum of two-year follow-up.METHODS:
A total of 142 patients who underwent TKA using ATTUNE posterior stabilized (PS) implants (68 patients, GRADIUS group) or Persona PS implants (74 patients, multi-radius group) for degenerative osteoarthritis were included. After an average of 2-year follow-up, the anteroposterior (AP) stability at 30°, 60°, and 90° was measured using KT 2000 device and compared between the two groups. The clinical outcome measurements included range of motion (ROM) of the knee, patient-reported outcomes and anterior knee pain (AKP). For the clinical evaluation of mid-flexion instability, pain was evaluated using the visual analog scale (VAS) score recorded during climbing up or going down stairs. The radiolucent lines on knee radiographs obtained at final follow-up were evaluated and compared between two groups.RESULTS:
The average AP stability at 30° knee flexion was 5.7 mm in the GRADIUS group and 5.9 mm in the multi-radius group; however, the difference was not significant. The AP stability at 60° and 90° knee flexion was also similar in both groups. There were no significant differences in the ROM, patient-reported outcomes at follow-up, incidence of AKP and VAS scores between the two groups. There were no differences in the incidence of radiolucency around the components between the two groups.CONCLUSION:
The GRADIUS design did not show any advantage with respect to the stability or clinical outcomes compared with the multi-radius design in TKA.Palavras-chave
