Abstract
Objective: The objective of the article was to do a comparative study between Smith & Nephew ® prosthesis with constricted polyethylene against the standard in patients submitted to total knee arthroplasty surgery during a short-term follow-up. The aim was to analyze the survival of the related implants due to the range of movement and radiographic aspect.
Methods: The sample was divided into two different groups: constricted polyethylene and standard polyethylene. A clinical analysis of the patients was carried out, and it was verified whether implant loosening had occurred.
Results: This study evaluated 61 patients in a period of 2 years, 29 in the constricted polyethylene group. The pre-operative deformities were predominantly considered severe. In the postoperative, the tibial-femoral angle varied on average between 5 - 6° of valgus. The total range of movement in the post-operative was above 101° in both groups. One loosened implant in the constricted polyethylene group was observed.
Conclusion: The patients treated with constricted polyethylene had the same range of movement as the control group. There was no significant difference between both groups related to loosened implants in short-term follow-up. Level of evidence III; Retrospective study.
