Objectives
In this study, we present our 10-year postoperative follow-up results of Sanat Swing® and NexGen® total knee implants.
Patients and methods
A total of 189 patients (93 males, 96 females; mean age: 68 years; range, 48 to 86 years) who underwent total knee replacement between January 2008 and September 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 105 patients (Group A) were implanted a cemented Sanat Swing knee prosthesis and 84 patients (Group B) were implanted a cemented NexGen knee prosthesis. Operation time, range of motion (ROM), pain level, Knee Society Score (KSS), distance of painless walking, and the ability to climb stairs were evaluated between the groups.
Results
The mean follow-up was 10.8 (range, 9.8 to 12.3) years. No significant difference was observed in the survival of the prostheses, ROM, pain level, KSS, walking distance, and in the ability to climb stairs between the two groups at 10 years. With an experienced team, the operation time was about 4 to 5 min shorter in the Sanat Swing implantation group. In selected cases, Sanat Swing was superior to the NexGen system; however, there was no statistically significant difference. Complication rates were also low and comparable between both groups.
Conclusion
Based on the 10 years of follow-up evaluation, Sanat Swing total knee replacement system seems to yield comparable clinical results with the NexGen. Experiences with the operative technique and comparative evaluation, the Sanat Swing system is a safe and reliable alternative for total knee replacement, providing a user-friendly operative technique and shorter operation time.
A csípőprotézis revíziók száma évről évre emelkedik. Ennek okaként számos tényezőt feltételeznek. Az esetszám növekedését mindenekelőtt az egyre nagyobb számban, egyre fiatalabb életkorban és sajnos nem mindig megfelelő minőségben elvégzett primer beültetés okozhatja. Az irodalmi adatok és szerzők gyakorlata alapján a cementnélküli revíziók dominanciája egyértelmű, ennek indikációs feltételrendszere, műtéttechnikai megfontolások és rövid, illetve középtávú eredményei a technikát igazolják. Intézetükben 2001 és 2017 között elvégzett 1065 csípőrevíziós műtét eredményei a cementnélküli revíziók növekvő létjogosultságát igazolják, amit a korszerű és egyre növekvő indikációval, akár súlyos defektusban is megbízható beültetést lehetővé tevő grafttechnikák és implantátumok támogatnak.
