Of 168 consecutive knees (118 patients) that had been treated with an arthroplasty with use of a kinematic total condylar prosthesis that allowed retention of the posterior cruciate ligament, 119 knees (eighty-four patients) were available for review at a mean of 10.0 +/- 0.7 years after the operation. The Hospital for Special Surgery knee score improved significantly, from a mean of 55 +/- 12 points preoperatively to a mean of 81 +/- 9 points at ten years (p < 0.0001). Radiolucent lines about the patellar component, present in thirty-five of eighty-three knees at the latest follow-up examination, were related to malpositioning of the tibial and femoral components. Six revisions were performed, and four of them were for a loose patellar component. The rate of deep infection was 1 per cent (one knee). Complications occurred in twenty-six knees (22 per cent). With revision as the end point, the rate of survival of the prostheses was estimated to be 96 per cent at ten years. The knee scores, the rate of survival of the implants, and the range of motion of the knees in the current study were similar to those reported previously for patients who had insertion of a total condylar prosthesis with sacrifice of the posterior cruciate ligament and for those who had substitution of the posterior cruciate ligament with a posterior stabilized prosthesis. A prosthesis that has a metal-backed tibial component and that allows preservation of the posterior cruciate ligament provides durable results, but loosening of the patellar component remains a major problem.
