Mid-Term Outcomes of Floating Platform Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty Under Navigational Guidance With a Minimum 4-Year Follow-Up

We evaluated 106 knees that underwent primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the navigation-assisted gap balancing technique using an e.-motion cruciate retaining floating platform (FP) mobile-bearing prosthesis to prospectively assess the survival of the e.-motion FP system after a minimum follow-up of 4 years. There was no evidence of any complications, including dissociation or breakage of the polyethylene liner or component loosening at last follow up (5.1 ± 0.6 years). Four knees, however, required re-operation, three for distal femoral fracture, and one for infection. The estimated 5-year prosthesis survival rates without revision for any reason and for prosthesis-associated problems were 96.2% and 100%, respectively. The e.-motion floating platform, with a cruciate retaining design under navigation guidance, demonstrated excellent clinical results and 5-year survival rate.
