Miller-Galante total knee arthroplasty: the importance of material and design on the revision rate
Effenberger, H., Berka, J., Hilzensauer, G. et al.Knee
We have reviewed 142 Miller-Galante I (MG I) total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) with a follow-up of 56 months, and compared these with the outcome of 219 Miller-Galante II (MG II) TKAs with a follow-up of 36 months. In the MG II TKAs we found markedly lower revision rates, higher postoperative Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores, less retropatellar pain and better patellar centring without patellar resurfacing. The higher revision rate in MG I TKAs was mainly due to the need to revise the metal-backed patellae.
