ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Highly porous metal tibial metaphyseal cones (TMCs) are commonly utilized in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to address bone loss and obtain biologic fixation. Mid-term (5 to 10 year) studies have previously demonstrated excellent survivorship and high rates of osseointegration, but longer-term studies are lacking. We aimed to assess long-term (≥ 10 year) implant survivorship, complications, and clinical and radiographic outcomes after revision TKA with TMCs.METHODS:
Between 2004 and 2011, 228 revision TKAs utilizing porous tantalum TMCs with stemmed tibial components were performed at a single institution and were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age at revision was 65 years, the mean body mass index was 33, and 52% were women. Implant survivorship, complications, and clinical and radiographic outcomes were assessed. The mean follow-up was 6.3 years.RESULTS:
The 10-year survivorship free of aseptic loosening leading to TMC removal was 97%, free of any TMC removal was 88%, free of any re-revision was 66%, and free of any reoperation was 58%. The most common indications for re-revision were periprosthetic joint infection, instability, and aseptic femoral component loosening. The 10-year nonoperative complication rate was 24%. The mean Knee Society scores increased from 38 preoperatively to 69 at 10 years. There were 8 knees that had evidence of partial, progressive tibial radiolucencies at 10 years.CONCLUSIONS:
Porous tantalum TMCs demonstrated persistently durable longer-term survivorship with a low rate of implant removal. The rare implant removals for component loosening or instability were offset by those required for periprosthetic joint infection, which accounted for 80% of cone removals. Porous tantalum TMCs provide an extremely reliable tool to address tibial bone loss and achieve durable long-term fixation in revision TKA. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV.Palavras-chave
