The incidence of radiolucent lines in cemented attune total knee arthroplasty– a retrospective clinical and radiological study
The findings of this study demonstrated good clinical results with significant improvement in pain and knee function and acceptable revision rates at a median follow-up of 4 years. However, a high incidence of periprosthetic RLL was seen in this cohort. No implant showed signs of component loosening, but patients with RLL should be monitored closely and future studies with longer follow-up durations are necessary to investigate the influence of these radiolucencies on the long-term performance of this knee system.
