The incidence of loosening of the femoral component of the ICLH knee has been found to be lower than that of the tibial component. This is thought to be due to the fact that the compressive strength of the distal femur has been found to be greater than that of the proximal tibia. It has further been shown that the strength of even the femur can be so reduced by the osteoporosis accompanying Rheumatoid Arthritis that it becomes insufficient for adequate prosthetic fixation.
已发现ICLH膝关节股骨部件松动的发生率低于胫骨部件。据认为，这是由于已发现股骨远端的抗压强度大于胫骨近端的抗压强度。进一步的研究表明，类风湿性关节炎伴发的骨质疏松症会使股骨强度降低，以至于不足以实现假体的充分固定。
