Clinical results of primary low contact stress cementless total knee arthroplasty.

The published clinical and radiographic outcomes data for primary cementless low-contact stress (LCS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were examined. The majority of patients (92.6%) were pain free or had only mild pain, and excellent or good knee scores (99.1%) at follow-up. Patella difficulties and significant radiolucent lines were rare, occurring in less than 1% of patients. The average range of motion (ROM) for patients without a history of previous knee surgeries was 112.1 degrees. Previous knee procedures had a negative impact on ROM. Overall, primary cementless LCS TKA achieves excellent clinical nd radiographic results.

Influence of surface finish in total hip arthroplasty.

The influence of femoral component surface finish was investigated by comparing 2 finishes, precoat and satin finish, for 1 cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) system using 1 acetabular cup design. All surgeries were performed by a single surgeon in 2 consecutive series. Minimum 2-year follow-up outcomes (36 precoat, 25 satin) were compared using Harris Hip Scores, radiographs, and survivorships. The precoat population experienced significantly more radiographic and debonding failures than the satin-finish population, and significantly more pain (P <.05). Comparing failures and nonfailures within the precoat population disclosed neither significant preoperative nor significant cement-grade differences. Because of failure performance of the precoat surface finish, this surgeon no longer implants these components.
