COMPARATIVE STUDY
JOURNAL ARTICLE
Comparison of metal-backed and all-polyethylene tibial components in cruciate condylar total knee arthroplasty.
Journal of Arthroplasty 1993 June
An evaluation of 78 knees in 63 patients using the cruciate-sparing total condylar prosthesis was performed. At a mean of 10 years following the arthroplasty there were 86% good or excellent results in knees with an all-polyethylene tibial component compared to 95% with a metal-backed tibial component (NS). Survivorship at 10 years using an endpoint of revision was 96% (NS) in both groups; using an endpoint of revision or poor knee score was 85% (NS) in the metal-backed compared to 92% (NS) in the all-polyethylene groups; using an endpoint of revision, poor knee score, or complete radiolucent line was 85% in the metal-backed compared to 90% (NS) in the all-polyethylene groups. There were no significant differences in the frequency of radiolucent lines at the last evaluation. Two percent of the tibial components in the metal-backed group had complete radiolucent lines compared to none in the all-polyethylene group. The cruciate-sparing total condylar prosthesis provides satisfactory results with no significant differences between the metal-backed or all-polyethylene tibial components at 10 years.
