Comparison of survival rate and risk of revision for mobile-bearing and fixed-bearing total knee replacements.

CONCLUSION: No differences were found in the cumulative survival rates between MB and FB TKRs. MB TKRs were associated with a lower risk of revision due to aseptic loosening in comparison with FB TKRs. MB inserts represented a significant risk factor only for early revisions due to instability.
