Epub 2011 Dec 29This study was conducted to examine the 5-year radiostereometric (RSA) results of the trabecular metal (TM) tibial monoblock component, based on a previous study with a follow-up time of 2 years. 70 patients with osteoarthritis were randomized and received either the trabecular metal tibial implant or the cemented component. Results indicated that stability was observed in the trabecular metal tibial implant up to 5 years despite high levels of initial migration observed in the previous study.
Was the allocation sequence adequately generated?
Was allocation adequately concealed?
Blinding Treatment Providers: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?

Blinding Patients: Was knowledge of the allocated interventions adequately prevented?
Was loss to follow-up (missing outcome data) infrequent?
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting?
Were outcomes objective, patient-important and assessed in a manner to limit bias (ie. duplicate assessors, Independent assessors)?
Was the sample size sufficiently large to assure a balance of prognosis and sufficiently large number of outcome events?
Was investigator expertise/experience with both treatment and control techniques likely the same (ie.were criteria for surgeon participation/expertise provided)?

مؤشر الهشاشة هو أداة تساعد في تفسير النتائج المهمة، وتوفر مقياسًا لقوة النتيجة. ويمثل مؤشر الهشاشة عدد الأحداث المتتالية التي يجب إضافتها إلى نتيجة ثنائية التفرع لجعل النتيجة غير مهمة. يمثل الرقم الصغير نتيجة أضعف ويمثل الرقم الكبير نتيجة أقوى.
لماذا كانت هناك حاجة لهذه الدراسة الآن؟
The potential for improved longevity from the use of uncemented implants have been explored due to recent improvement in biomaterials. In a previous paper by the same authors, the 2-year implant migration results of the trabecular metal tibial monoblock component were presented. However, a longer follow-up was necessary to determine whether the early stability of these implants was sustained. Thus, this study presented the 5-year longitudinal radiostereometric (RSA) results from the original cohort of patients randomized to receive either the uncemented Nexgen LPS TM monoblock tibial component or the cemented NexGen Option Stemmed tibial component.
ما هو سؤال البحث الرئيسي؟
Did the trabecular metal tibial implant achieve solid fixation (despite high levels of initial migration) in comparison to the cemented component, assessed at 5 years?
- No differences were observed in the WOMAC scores between the groups at any follow-up point (P > 0.006).
- In the cemented group, the proportion of “at risk” components at 5 years was 2 of 18 (0.11, 95% CI: 0.03-0.33) and for the trabecular metal group it was 0 of 27 (95% CI: 0.0-0.13) (P = 0.2).
- There was no difference in maximum total point motion at the 5-year follow-up between both groups (P = 0.9); compared to the cemented group, the trabecular metal group had more subsidence (P = 0.001).
- 9 subjects in the trabecular metal group displayed very high migration in the first 6 months postoperatively (> 1.0 mm) at the 2-year follow-up; at 5 years, stability was still seen in all of these implants with an average change in maximum total point motion of 0.10 mm over the 3 years between follow-ups.
ما الذي يجب أن أتذكره أكثر؟
In the previous 2-year report by the authors, uncertainty was expressed concerning the long-term stability of the trabecular metal tibial implant because of the high initial migration seen in some cases. This study revealed that stability was observed in the trabecular metal tibial implant up to 5 years despite high levels of initial migration.
كيف سيؤثر ذلك على رعاية مرضاي؟
The trabecular metal tibial implant appears to achieve solid fixation even though there were high levels of initial migration. However, continued implant surveillance data is required to evaluate the long-term stability of this implant for patients with osteoarthritis.
