Abstract
-
PURPOSE: To evaluate the short-term results of PFC Sigma Rotating-Platform in total knee arthroplasty.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From November 2001 to April 2002, 41 knees in 25 patients who had been followed up over 2 year after TKA with PFC Sigma Rotating-Platform were evaluated retrospectively.
RESULTS
The average range of motion increased from 96.9 degree preoperatively to 122.3 degree at the last follow-up. The average preoperative knee score (44.2) and functional score (51.3) improved to 90.8 and 92.1 respectively. The average score of activity level by authors 'improved from 42 preoperatively to 87 post-operatively. The radiolucent lines around prosthesis were found in 12% at femur and in 24% at tibia. But, none showed any clinical significance. Complications were superficial infections in 3 knees.
CONCLUSION
The short-term results of PFC Sigma Rotating-Platform TKA were satisfactory. Therefore, long term follow-up evaluation is necessary.
