Introduction

We aim to assess the functional outcome, patient perceived satisfaction and implant survival at a mean follow up of 13[10–16] years following revision knee replacement.

Patients and Methods

Between 1995 and 2001, 243 revision knee replacements were performed in 230 patients using Endolink [Link, Hamburg] or TC3 [Depuy, Leeds] prosthesis at Wrightington hospital, Wrightington, were consented to take part in this study. Data was collected prospectively which includes complications and functional assessment by Oxford knee score, WOMAC, HSS, UCLA, SF12 scores, and patient satisfaction questioner. The scores were obtained pre-operatively and post-operatively at 1 year, 5 years and at the latest follow-up. The mean age was 69 yrs, 51% were males, TC3 prosthesis as used in 175 and Endolink in 68, the revision was for Infection in 71[29%], 53 patients had intra-operative positive culture, 35 had 2 stage revision.

Introduction

We aim to assess the functional outcome, patient satisfaction and implant survival at a mean follow up of 13[10–16] years following revision for infected total knee replacement.

Patients and Methods

Between 1995 and 2001, 71 revision knee replacements were performed for infection, at Wrightington hospital, Wrightington. Data was collected prospectively which includes intra-operative cultures, complications and functional assessment by Oxford knee score, WOMAC, HSS, UCLA, SF12 scores, and patient satisfaction questioner. The scores were obtained pre-operatively and post-operatively at 1 year, 5 years and at the latest follow-up. Mean age was 69 yrs, 70% were Females, 31[44%] had 2 stage revisions and intra-operative culture was positive in 53 patients. Most common organism was staphylococcus aureus in 30% and staphylococcus epidermides in 18%.
