Data Analysis

  • April 6, 2019
  • April 6, 2019

  • April 6, 2019

  • April 6, 2019

Hips – Revision rates

  • April 6, 2019

April 6, 2019

  • Hips – Being female and young remains higher risk, moderated by removing MoM

Hips – Watch the head size: material dependent

  • April 6, 2019

Hips – Best 10 year performance by fixation

  • Most common constructs with >2500 implantations (>1000 for resurfacing) and >250 remaining at risk. Kaplan-Meier estimate (95% CI)

  • Age and gender – cemented fixation, lowest revision in all age bands and both genders

  • Cemented 1.55 (1.1 – 2.1)

  • Uncemented 2.89 (2.3 – 3.6)

  • Hybrid 2.28 (1.7 – 3.0)

  • Reverse Hybrid 3.36 (2.4 – 4.7)

  • Resurfacing 7.95 (7.6 - 8.4)

  • April 6, 2019

Hips – Re-revision rates by time to revision

  • April 6, 2019

Knees – Use of fixation

  • April 6, 2019

Knees – Use of fixation and type 2017

  • April 6, 2019
Fixation Constraint % of primary knee procedures
Cemented Unconstrained 63.1
Posterior stabilised 20.4
Constrained condylar 1.4
Monobloc polyethylene tibia 1.6
Uncemented Unconstrained 1.8
Posterior stabilised 0.2
Unicondylar Fixed 4.6
Mobile 5.5
Patellofemoral 1.0

Knees – Revision rates over time

  • April 6, 2019

Knees – Survivorship by constraint and type for cemented TKR

  • April 6, 2019

Knees – Survivorship by type for unicompartmental

  • April 6, 2019

Knees – Revision risk by age and gender

  • April 6, 2019

Knees – Best 10 year performance (Kaplan-Meier, 95% CI)

  • Cemented

    • Unconstrained fixed 2.41 (2.3 – 2.5)
    • Posterior stabilised fixed 3.05 (2.9 – 3.2)
    • Monobloc poly tibia 2.20 (1.8 – 2.7)
  • Uncemented

    • Unconstrained fixed 2.27 (1.6 – 3.2)
  • Unicondylar

    • Unicondylar fixed 10.20 (9.0 – 11.6)
    • Unicondylar mobile 11.44 (11.1 – 11.8)
  • Patellofemoral 15.21 (14.0 – 16.6)

  • April 6, 2019

Knees – Type

  • Patterns above consistent across age and gender bands

  • Age (and age as a surrogate for activity) on its own not the reason for increased revision rates in partial knees

  • 3 years 3.98 (3.4 – 4.7)

  • 5 years 6.93 (6.0 – 8.0)
