Abstract

Purpose

There is a paucity of data available on total knee prostheses combining dual-radius, ultra-congruency, posterior-stabilization and mobile-bearing insert. This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the clinical evolution of the FIRST® prosthesis (Symbios Orthopédie, Yverdon, CH), the earliest prosthesis with this particular design. It was hypothesized that the primary outcomes, evaluating pain, stiffness, function and stability, would improve following arthroplasty and remain improved during the follow-up period of 10 years.

Methods

All patients programmed for a total knee arthroplasty using a FIRST® prosthesis at our university hospital between 2006 and 2008 were invited to participate. Study knees were evaluated pre-operatively as well as one, five and ten years post-operatively. Patients filled out questionnaires at each evaluation point and had a radiographic assessment at the five-year and ten-year follow-ups. Primary outcomes were the total, pain, stiffness and function measures of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis questionnaire (WOMAC) and the knee and function measures of the Knee Society Score (KSS). Friedman and Wilcoxon’s rank-sum tests were used to compare measures across time points.

Results

Hundred and twenty four prostheses were included (baseline demographics: 69.9 ± 8.3 years old, 28.1 ± 4.3 kg/m2, 54% male) and 68 could be followed during ten years. Five prostheses underwent a revision. All other prostheses lost at follow-up were lost for reasons unrelated to the prosthesis. All primary measures reported statistically and clinically significant improvements between baseline and the three follow-up evaluations. Statistically significant improvements at the three follow-up evaluations were also observed for most secondary measures. There was no implant loosening. At ten-year follow-up, radiolucent lines were observed in 2.9% femoral implants and 1.5% tibial implants.

Conclusion

The positive results observed in all domains of assessment and the small revision rate demonstrated an effective functioning of the FIRST® prosthesis during the ten-year follow-up period. The results, globally similar to those previously published for other prosthesis designs, encourage the development of assistive methods to select the most appropriate designs on an individual basis.
