Abstract |
Introduction |
As life expectancy has improved, the potential number of revision candidates is also expected to increase among patients who have undergone a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The longevity of modern posterior stabilized knee prostheses after 20 years of use has not been well documented, especially in Asian populations that require a deeper flexion range due to a floor-based lifestyle.
Hypothesis |
Firstly, the implant longevity regarding mechanical failures such as aseptic loosening and polyethylene (PE) wear would vary over a longer follow-up depending on the age groups; and secondly there would be unique risk factors for revision surgery in an Asian TKA cohort.
Material and methods |
We conducted this age-stratified survival analysis in a consecutive series of 368 NexGen Legacy Posterior Stabilized (LPS) TKAs performed by a single surgeon. These cases were divided into four age groups (< 60 years, early 60s, late 60s, and ≥ 70 years). The implant longevity against aseptic mechanical failures was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The revision surgery risk was evaluated using postoperative factors including a deep flexion capability (> 135̊), and postoperative mechanical alignments.
Results |
Overall survivorship was significantly lower in the youngest groups than other groups (Log-rank test, p=0.001). The cumulative 20-year implant longevity was more than 95% in the two oldest groups, but less than 60% in the youngest group. It was notable that the post-TKA implant longevity was not apparent up to 10 years between the age groups (p=0.073∼0.458). Aseptic loosening was observed with an earlier onset (3.1 to 18.9 years) trend than PE wear (9.8∼17.9 years), with most cases arising in the youngest groups. Flexion limitation and varus alignment were significant risks to aseptic loosening and PE wear (Cox proportional hazard regression: p=0.001 and 0.045, respectively).
Discussion |
A younger age (< 60 years), inability of postoperative deep flexion, and varus alignment were significant risk factors for aseptic loosening and PE wear after modern PS design in this Asian cohort. The difference in postoperative longevity affected by these factors was not obvious during the first 10 years but emerged over a second decade.
Level of proof |
III; retrospective cohort study.
