Tibial Baseplate-Cement Interface Debonding in the ATTUNE Total Knee Arthroplasty System.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acrylic bone cement is the most common method of fixation for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Several studies have described good short-term outcomes; however, there have been reports of early failures due to tibial baseplate debonding at the implant-cement interface of The ATTUNE Knee System (DePuy Synthes, West Chester, PA). We examined the causes and rates of revision in patients who underwent TKA with this system to identify factors associated with this mode of early failure.

Methods

A retrospective review of electronic health records between 2013 and 2018 identified all patients undergoing TKA with the ATTUNE Knee System with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Cause of revision, patient, implant, instrumentation, cement, and surgeon variables were collected.
