Ten- to 14-Year Results of a High-Flex Rotating Platform Knee Implant: A Follow-Up Report of a Prospective Cohort.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundHigh-flex posterior stabilised rotating platform (PSRP) implant was introduced to provide for deep knee flexion. Few short-term results have been reported, but there are no long-term outcomes reported.
methodsWe prospectively followed 48 patients (53 knees) implanted with one such design. Inclusion criteria for implantation were patients with good pre-operative flexion and wishing to perform activities requiring deep knee flexion post-operatively, with femorotibial varus angle < 15° and having good flexion stability at trialling stage. Previously, we reported their outcomes at 2-6 years (FU-1). We now report their functional and radiological results at a minimum follow-up of 10 years (FU-2) in 39 patients (43 knees); 5 patients having died and 4 lost to follow-up.
resultsThe mean pre-operative flexion of 124° improved to 130° at FU-1 and to 134° at FU-2. Flexion of 130° or more was seen in 59.6% knees at FU-1 and 74.42% knees at FU-2. At FU-2 mean Knee score was 90.5 and Function score was 67.8. Incidence of patellofemoral symptoms increased from 7.7% at FU-1 to 11.36% at FU-2. There were no cases of bearing spin out, osteolysis or revision surgeries.
conclusionAt a minimum 10-year follow-up, high-flexion PSRP design in selected patients yielded 100% survival. We recorded good knee flexion and knee society scores, with no case of spin out, implant loosening, osteolysis or revision surgery. Although deep knee flexion improved at longer follow-up, its use in ADL had reduced due to other age-related factors. There was increased incidence of patellofemoral symptoms.
