Abstract
The rate of complications for Medin Modular implants evaluated at an average follow-up of 6.5 years is not different from the values reported for similar prostheses. The most serious complication is late infection.
Persistent pain is usually located to the femoro-patellar articulation, but it seldom markedly affects joint function. The cumulative survival curve for the whole group was 92 % at a 9 years.
The HSS evaluation of the whole group showed that 75 % of the knees achieved mor than 90 points.
