Abstract:
Objective To research clinical application of rotating platform knee prosthesis Gemini MK II in the total knee arthroplasty. Methods From August 2010 to July 2013, 87 patients (106 knees) underwent total knee arthroplasty using rotating platform knee prosthesis Gemini MK II. The average ages of the cases were 65.3 years (52-81 years). The clinical results were evaluated by the HSS knee rating score system as well as X-ray films. Results The patients were followed up for mean 24.2 months (7~40 months). The pain caused by the illness of knee obviously alleviated and the function of knee significantly improved. The complications such as osteolysis around the prosthesis, prosthesis loos-ening and dislocation of meniscus bearings were not found. The HSS knee rating score was (51.5±9.7) before total knee arthroplasty, which improved to (87.3±6.4), The difference was significant(P<0.01). Conclusion There are satisfactory results in a short time for rotating platform knee prosthesis Gemini MK II in the total knee arthroplasty. A long term follow-up is obviously necessary to make more precise statement about the knee replacement system.
