“…Both in Finland and in Sweden, sex and age had an effect on prosthetic survival. Women and older patients (> 55 years) had better survival rates (Robertsson et al 1997). The natural consequence of the ageing of the population is that the number of patients treated for OA is increasing with time (Knutson et al 1994, Robertsson et al 2000.…”

We performed a prospective study to assess safety and effectiveness of a pre-formed articulating spacer made of gentamicin-impregnated acrylic cement in the management of infected total knee arthroplasty. Twentyone consecutive patients with unilateral deep infection were treated by two-stage revision in two centres. Two patients were excluded, and 19 patients remained available for assessment. The mean implantation time of the spacer was 12 weeks. The rehabilitation programme between stages consisted in early range of motion exercises and partial weight bearing. Mean follow-up after removal of the spacer and insertion of the final prosthesis was 24 (range, 12-43) months. No patient had recurrence of infection at the latest follow-up. The mean Knee Society functional score during spacer management was rated 75 points and was rated 84 points at the latest follow-up. No devicerelated complication was observed.

“…The postoperative pain score improved up to 2 years, and then was maintained through the followup intervals. bone stock [19]. Nevertheless, there are published reports of success with cementless TKA in short-term followup [1,4,13,22,26], and comparisons of cemented and cementless fixation suggest cementless fixation sometimes yields better results in patients with RA [9,15].…”
