LITERATURE ARTICLE "THE IMPORTANCE OF A BALANCED-GAP TECHNIQUE IN ROTATING-PLATFORM KNEES" (2006) BY JOHN CHIAVETTA ET AL PUBLISHED BY ORTHOPEDICS WAS REVIEWED. THE ARTICLE PURPOSE: TO DETERMINE THE PREVALENCE OF SPIN-OUT IN A LARGE SERIES OF P.F.C.

THE ARTICLE REPORTS: FROM APRIL 2000 TO JUNE 2003, 540 PFC SIGMA DEVICES WERE IMPLANTED AT THE AUTHORS' INSTITUTION. OUT OF THESE, 426 KNEES IN 393 PATIENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE STUDY. THERE WERE 0 CASES OF SPINOUT OR DISSOCIATION OF THE POLYETHYLENE FROM THE TIBIAL TRAY. THE PREVALENCE OF SPINOUT WITHIN THIS STUDY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LESS THAN OTHER PREVIOUS STUDIES. THE AUTHORS CONCLUDED THIS WAS BECAUSE THE GAP-BALANCING TECHNIQUE WAS SUCCESSFUL IN SUPPRESSING THESE PARTICULAR ADVERSE EVENTS. CEMENT USAGE/MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MENTIONED WITHIN THE ARTICLE. PATELLA RESURFACING WAS ALSO NOT MENTIONED WITHIN THE ARTICLE. DEPUY PRODUCTS INVOLVED: PFC SIGMA MB.
