Background: The use of hinged designs is usually reserved for severe deformities or instability in contemporary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Results have been mixed with some authors reporting relatively high incidences of complications. The aim of this study is to present the results of primary TKA performed with a hinged prosthesis with a minimum 10-year follow-up. We also examined the factors that influence survivorship of this prosthesis. Methods: A total of 238 primary TKA procedures were performed using hinged prostheses. Indications included osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, posttraumatic deformity, and arthritis. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Hospital for Special Surgery score. Radiologic assessment was performed at each follow-up. Survivorship was calculated based on the Kaplan-Meier method. All complications were documented. Results: Mean follow-up was 13.5 years (standard deviation [SD], 3.4). Mean flexion at final review was 118° (SD, 20°). Fifty-four percent and 20% reported excellent and good functional scores, respectively. Survivorship was 94% at 13.5 years in patients over 60 years of age and 77% in patients less than 60 years of age. Survivorship in patients with preoperative varus deformity was 96% and that in valgus knees was 79%. Conclusions The results of this study suggest that when rotating hinges are used for primary TKA, the best results are achieved in patients over 60 years old. The indications for this design in the setting of primary TKA include significant deformities, severe bone loss, and ligamentous laxity.
