%X BACKGROUND: International joint registries provide high volumes of information in relation to the performance of total knee arthroplasty on a global scale. Distillation of this data can be challenging, particularly with the establishment of more arthroplasty registries on a yearly basis. We therefore aim to present key information from these registries in relation to primary total knee arthroplasty. The specific questions of interest include: Which fixation type is superior in TKA? Does the level of constraint impact on clinical performance? How do partial knee replacements perform in the registries? Does patellar resurfacing lead to superior results? Are there any specific implants which perform particularly well or poorly?
METHODS: A comprehensive review of the major English-speaking knee arthroplasty registries across the globe was performed. Given the expanding large number of registries worldwide, it was not possible to perform a comprehensive review of all registries and so, a detailed review of the major English-speaking knee arthroplasty registries was included. Key trends and developments in implant performance were identified and presented in the current article.
RESULTS: Total knee replacements have lower revision rates than both unicompartmental and patellofemoral joint replacement procedures. Patellofemoral joint replacements have the highest failure rate of all knee replacement procedures. Cruciate-Retaining (CR) TKR designs have superior outcomes to Posterior-Stabilized (PS) designs across all registries. Patellar resurfacing appears to confer an advantage over non-resurfaced patellas in primary TKR.
CONCLUSIONS: We present current global trends in the utility and performance of TKA based on data from English-speaking arthroplasty registries.
