Long-Term Outcomes of High-Flexion Design Total Knee Arthroplasty with a Short Posterior Flange

CONCLUSIONS: The Vega Knee System provided good clinical results in the long-term follow-up period. Although the VEGA Knee System showed acceptable implant survivorship, loosening of the femoral component occurred in about 3.4% of the patients. For more accurate evaluation of the survivorship of high-flexion design TKA with a short posterior flange, it is necessary to conduct more long-term follow-up studies targeting diverse races, especially Asians who frequently perform high-flexion activities.PMID:38562641 | PMC:PMC10973616 | DOI:10.4055/cios23133
