Can Both Cruciate Ligaments Be Preserved in Knee Arthroplasty? Eight- to Nine-Year Follow-Up of a Bicompartmental Knee Replacement
ABSTRACT
Preservation of native knee anatomy may confer improved patient satisfaction, as suggested by patient
satisfaction scores in unicondylar versus total knee replacement. Bicompartmental knee replacement (BKR) implants
similarly promote native tissue preservation.
We retrospectively reviewed 42 consecutive patients who underwent BKR from 2006 to 2007. Outcome measures
were evaluated. At an average follow-up of 103 months (range 87–110), 34/42 (81%) of implants survived. Among
the retained implants, the Knee Society Score (KSS) grade was excellent in 26/34 (76.5%), good in 5/34 (14.7%), fair in 3/34 (8.8%), and poor in 0/34 (0%) of cases. Midterm results of BKR demonstrated 81% survival and 76% with excellent KSS grading. Despite a 20% revision rate at the short-term follow-up, the retained implants functioned well at the midterm follow-up.
