Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term clinical and functional performance of the P.F.C. Sigma Rotating Platform TC3 knee system in revision knee surgery and to determine whether the implant design results in a longer-lasting knee replacement.
Detailed description
Primary outcome: Implant survival at 5 years Secondary Outcomes:Evidence of clinical and functional outcome determined by the Knee Society Score, anterior knee pain (Patellar Score). Evidence of health related quality of life determined by WOMAC OA index. Patient satisfaction at 1 and 5 years. Radiographic analysis according to Knee society guidelines. Implant survival annually to 15 years.
