Abstract
Both cohorts demonstrated improvement in clinical outcome measures at 2-year follow-up. None of the SCCKs performed in the primary setting were revised for a mechanical complication. Although both groups had overall low revision rates, there was trend toward a higher revision rate with NSCCKs. Many of these were revised for component loosening. In summary, when necessary, constrained options in the primary TKA setting provide excellent clinical outcome at short-term follow-up. However, constrained constructs with stemmed fixation may provide more rigid fixation and be less susceptible to mechanical failure.
