We reviewed 40 cementless Porous Coated Anatomic knee replacements in 34 consecutive patients. The average follow-up was 12.9 months (range 6 to 36 months). At review, loose beads were identified in 23 knees, in 11 on the femoral side and in 16 on the tibial side (in five knees on both sides). One loose bead was adjacent to the patella. In four knees there were intra-articular beads. Radiolucent lines at the interface between bone and prosthesis were seen in 19 knees, in six on the femoral side and in 16 on the tibial side (in three knees on both sides). In relation to the tibial component loose beads were associated with a radiolucent line in all except one case. Progressive loosening with an increasing number of loose beads was seen in three knees. At this early stage of follow-up there was no correlation between the clinical results and the presence of loose beads.
