Abstract

This retrospective study examined the medium term outcome of 305 Titanium Nitride (TiN) Mobile bearing total knee. At ten years after the start of the study, there was a significant improvement (p < 0.0001) in the post-operative knee scores. The ten year survival with revision for any reason as the end point was 95.1% (95% CI 92.4 to 97.8). The ten year survival rate with revision for aseptic loosening as the end point was 99.1% (95% CI 97.8 to 100%). A total of 15 knees (4.9%, overall) required revision. No cases were revised due to sepsis. Based on these results, the surface Titanium Nitride ceramic, mobile-bearing total knee replacement has proved to be a reliable implant at 10 years when used in primary knee replacement.
