“…We know that the implant is just one of the factors that lead to a successful procedure [7][8] . There are several other factors that hinder the analysis of the results of arthroplasties in our country, such as: the heterogeneous characteristics of the services that perform arthroplasties; the lack of documentation of results; the low adherence of patients to long-term follow-ups (especially in cases with good results); cultural, structural, and socioeconomic issues that limits the access to medical services 1,14 . Our study showed, as well as the few previous case series using Brazilian implants [5][6] that the Brazilian implant has results comparable to the imported.…”

Introduction To compare the functional results, satisfaction rates, and revisions of total knee arthroplasties performed by the same surgical team using either Brazilian or imported implants, with a minimum follow-up of 5 years after surgery. Materials and Methods A retrospective cohort study analyzing the medical records and interviews of patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty with Brazilian or imported implants with a minimum of 5 years after surgery. Results One hundred and fifty patients were evaluated (164 knees). In the functional questionnaire, 71% of patients had favorable answers in the group of patients who underwent surgery using the Brazilian prosthesis and 74.8% in the group with imported implants (p=0.634). There was no statistical difference in satisfaction between the groups, with 78.4% of patients satisfied or very satisfied in the Brazilian implant group and 90.7% in the imported implant group (p=0.053). Loosening of the implants was reported in 5.3% versus 4.7% (p>0.999). Conclusion The total knee arthroplasties performed by the same surgical team with a minimum follow-up period of 5 years showed similar levels of satisfaction, function, and complications with both the Brazilian and imported implants. Level of Evidence III, cohort study.
