What is it about?
This is a retrospective review of a case series of consecutive CCK implants, with a minimum follow-up of ten-years. Our paper shows important results, in fact no implant was revisioned and we detected a osteolysis pattern around the stem, probably due to a stress-shielding effect or anyway related to Wolf's law. Functional results were good, even related to difficult primary or revision TKA.

Why is it important?
It is the longest follow-up implant-related, at the time of publications.
Perspectives
I hope it will be useful to evaluate the survival rate of a CCK implant. Limit of this study is the retrospective nature, but the long-term follow-up by gives reliable data.
