Effect of Age <strong>and</strong> Gender<br />

The risk of revision following primary<br />

unicompartmental knee replacement differs<br />

significantly by age, however there is no<br />

significant difference with respect <strong>to</strong> gender.<br />

The risk of revision significantly decreases with<br />

increasing age. The less than 55 year age group<br />

has the highest revision rate, 3.3 revisions per<br />

100 component years, <strong>and</strong> a seven year<br />

cumulative percent revision of 20.0%. In the<br />

remaining age groups 55-64, 65-74 <strong>and</strong> 75 years<br />

<strong>and</strong> older there is a gradual decline in the rate of<br />

revision per 100 observed component years (2.2,<br />

1.6 <strong>and</strong> 1.2 respectively) (Table KP16). The<br />

seven year cumulative percent revision also<br />

declines in a similar manner (14.5%, 9.5% <strong>and</strong><br />

6.1% respectively) (Table KP17 <strong>and</strong> Figure KP6).<br />

Although not significant, females have a higher<br />

revision rate compared <strong>to</strong> males (2.1 <strong>and</strong> 1.8<br />

revisions per 100 observed component years<br />

respectively), <strong>and</strong> a seven year cumulative<br />

percent revision of 12.9% <strong>and</strong> 11.0%<br />

respectively (Tables KP18 <strong>and</strong> KP19 <strong>and</strong> Figure<br />

KP7). The differences in risk of revision related<br />

<strong>to</strong> age previously mentioned are evident for both<br />

females <strong>and</strong> males (Tables KP20 <strong>and</strong> KP21 <strong>and</strong><br />

Figures KP8 <strong>and</strong> KP9).<br />

Prosthesis Specific Outcomes<br />

The revision per 100 observed component years<br />

<strong>and</strong> the seven year cumulative percent revision<br />

where available is provided for all<br />

unicompartmental prostheses (Tables KP22 <strong>and</strong><br />

KP23). There are 11 prostheses with over 1,000<br />

observed component years recorded by the<br />

Registry <strong>and</strong> of these the least revised are the<br />

M/G, Repicci <strong>and</strong> Freedom PKR/Active with 1.4<br />

revisions per 100 observed component years.<br />

The Freedom PKR/Active has a much shorter<br />

follow up period than the other two prostheses.<br />

The cumulative percent revision of these three<br />

prostheses is 8.1% at seven years for the M/G,<br />

6.9% at five years for the Repicci <strong>and</strong> 3.0% at<br />

two years for the Freedom PKR/Active. The ZUK,<br />

a relatively recent prosthesis, is already the<br />

second most used prosthesis in 2007 <strong>and</strong> has 0.9<br />

revisions per 100 observed component years <strong>and</strong><br />

a two year cumulative percent revision of 1.4%.<br />
