No difference in radiolucent lines after TKA: a matched-pair analysis of the classic implant and its evolutional design

ConclusionAt 12  months follow-up we found no significant difference in RLL between the two implants. Both Attune and LCS TKA systems showed RLL predominantly at the posterior femoral flange. The reasons for the RLL remain a matter of speculation; however, shortcomings in surgical and cementing techniques seem to be more important than implant-related factors.Level of evidenceIII
