Journal of Arthroplasty Apr 15, 2020
Hagman DS, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate outcomes of cemented, posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty (PSTKA) in obese and morbidly obese patients at an average follow-up of 10 years. Between 2000 and 2013, researchers designed a retrospective study including a total of 181 patients who had a cemented, PS TKA with BMI > 35 at time of surgery. Clinical data and radiographs analyzed along with survivorship, complications, and revisions. Five years was the minimum follow-up with an average follow-up of 10 years. The data exhibited that in obese and morbidly obese patients, aseptic loosening is the leading cause of failure following TKA with lowering survivorship from 96.1% to 91.2% and 86.7% at 5, 10, and 15 years, respectively.
