We present the long-term results of the Kinematic Condylar Knee Arthroplasty followed in a prospective fashion. Between October 1982 and March 1988, 404 consecutive replacement arthroplasties were carried out on 335 patients. Of these, 354 knees had osteoarthritis, 45 rheumatoid arthritis and five other diagnoses. At the time of final follow-up 158 patients (188 knees) had died. No patient was lost to follow-up. The minimum follow-up for all living patients was ten years (10 to 17). The mean age at surgery was 68 years (30 to 92). There were seven complications (1.7%). Sixteen knees (3.9%) were revised, four because of infection. Survivorship was 99.4% (CI 97.9 to 99.8) at five years, 98.2% (CI 96.1 to 99.2) at ten years and 92.6% (CI 87.6 to 95.6) at 17 years.
