We evaluated a unique implant system that included a universal femoral component (UFC) design and instrumentation that would accommodate the UFC on both the left and right femur. There was a commitment to test two hypotheses: firstly, that the results of this 10-year follow-up study maintained patient outcomes compared to the initial 6-year follow-up assessment and secondly that this unique Q-angle design maintained patella tracking over the 10-year period. The results of the 10-year follow-up period determined that the two hypotheses were supported with the Knee Society Score (KSS) data and continued to support the use of this UFC.
我们评估了一种独特的植入系统,该系统包括通用股骨组件(UFC)设计及器械,可适配左右两侧股骨的UFC。我们致力于验证两个假设:其一,与最初的6年随访评估相比,此次10年随访研究的结果能维持患者的治疗效果;其二,这种独特的Q角设计在10年期间能维持髌骨轨迹。10年随访期的结果表明,膝关节协会评分(KSS)数据支持了这两个假设,并继续支持使用这种UFC。
