Abstract

We report the medium-term outcomes of the Rotaglide mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (RTK). Between 1994 and 1999, 357 RTK prostheses were implanted at our institution. Of 150 knees attending for follow-up, none had needed revision. Mean American Knee Society Score (AKSS), Oxford knee score and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) score at 8 years were 153.6, 23.1 and 16.5, respectively. Radiological analysis revealed no prosthesis with signs of impending failure requiring revision. Survivorship was 100% in those attending. However, we are aware of two failures requiring revision, both of which were due to infection. We have no reported failures requiring revision due to aseptic loosening. This may be a result of the implant design. Limitations of the study include loss to follow-up and radiological analysis. The RTK gives good to excellent medium-term results and we support its continued use.
