T1 Can Both Cruciate Ligaments Be Preserved in Knee Arthroplasty? Eight- to Nine-Year Follow-Up of a Bicompartmental Knee Replacement JF Journal of Long-Term Effects of Medical Implants JO JLT YR 2016 FD 2017-02-01 VO 26 IS 4 SP 321 OP 327 K1 bicompartmental knee replacement K1 deuce K1 cruciate preservation knee arthroplasty K1 partial knee replacement K1 patellofemoral knee replacement AB 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.
