Article Abstract
Purpose: A new tibial baseplate of the cobalt-chrome (CoCr) prosthesis has an enhanced design with additional cement pockets and undersurface with increased roughness compared with the original baseplate. This study aimed to compare the incidence of medial proximal tibial resorption (MPTR) in total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) with the original and new CoCr tibial baseplates.
Methods: Each of 200 posterior stabilized TKAs with the original (Group O) and new (Group N) CoCr tibial baseplates with a minimum follow-up period of 2 years were retrospectively reviewed. The matches were made according to age, sex, body mass index, and severity of varus deformity. The occurrence of MPTR was investigated with a radiograph at 2 years postoperatively. MPTR was categorized as type U (resorption under the tibial baseplate; associated with stress shielding), C (resorption around the penetrated cement under the baseplate; associated with thermal necrosis), and M (resorption on the medial tibial cortex without extension to the baseplate; associated with bony devascularization).
Results: The incidence of MPTR was 35% in group O and 24% in group N (p = 0.021) at postoperative 2 years. The U type of MPTR occurred more frequently in group O (26 vs. 15%, p = 0.009). There were no significant differences in the incidence of types C and M MPTR.
Conclusion: The modified design of the CoCr tibial baseplate affected the incidence of MTPR. The new tibial baseplate was more advantageous in preventing MPTR than the original baseplate in TKAs using the CoCr prosthesis.
Level Of Evidence: III.

Background: Aseptic tibial loosening is a leading cause of revision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Previous work has highlighted concerns over the 5-year survivorship of a specific non-augmentable NexGen Legacy Posterior Stabilised (LPS) tibial baseplate. This study compares the long-term outcomes of augmentable versus non-augmentable tibial implants with a minimum 10-year follow-up.

Background: An overhang of the tibial baseplate in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been associated with postoperative pain and impaired function.
Hypothesis: There are significant patient factors that influence the insertion of a size 1 minimum-sized tibial baseplate in fixed-bearing (FB) UKA for Japanese patients with varus knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Purpose: This study investigated the above-hypothesized factors.

Background: Due to higher failure rates of cemented implants in obese, younger, and active men, along with increasing life span, cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has had a resurgence given the potential of long-term biological fixation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of primary TKA using a cementless, highly porous tibial baseplate with a minimum 10-year follow-up.
Methods: This was a retrospective review of 300 consecutive, primary cementless TKAs using the same highly porous tibial baseplate.

Background: Tibial rotational alignment is the most prone to error among the placement angles of the prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The augmented reality (AR)-aided navigation system enables surgeons to visualize the tibial anteroposterior axis established on the pre-resection surface superimposed on the bone surface after proximal tibial resection.
Methods: We compared the axial, coronal, and sagittal alignments of the tibial baseplate between 58 TKAs performed using an AR-aided navigation system and 64 TKAs in which the rotational alignment was determined manually.
Purpose: A recently introduced 3D-printed porous-coated tibial baseplate (ATTUNE AFFIXIUM, DePuy Synthes) was hypothesised to yield radiographical and clinical results that are comparable to those of its cementless predecessor with sintered beaded porous coating (POROCOAT, DePuy Synthes).
Methods: A consecutive series of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) was performed by a single surgeon using a baseplate covered with either AFFIXIUM® 3D-printed porous coating or POROCOAT® sintered beaded porous coating. The presence of radiolucent lines (RLLs) and bone on-growth over the surface of the tibial baseplate were retrospectively reviewed at 1 week, 1, 2, 4, 6 months and 1 year postoperatively.
