BACKGROUND: Various designs of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) have provided satisfactory outcomes for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis for many years. The aim of the study is to evaluate the success and failure rate of the medial stabilized (MS) TKA design through national joint registries and the current literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A comprehensive literature review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses was carried out through PubMed and MEDLINE database. The international registries analyzed included the National Joint Registry, the Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry, the Dutch Arthroplasty Register, the New Zealand Orthopedic Association Joint Registry, and the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative. We are reporting descriptive data which include means and percentages of survival rates and revision rates and number of years after the primary procedure. The revision rates and the cumulative revision rates are reported separately for each MS implant. RESULTS: Our detailed review identified 5 of 12 registries and 25 of 550 studies reporting on the survivorship of an MS TKA design. There were a total of 3684 procedures between the 25 studies, with an average survivorship free of aseptic loosening of 99% at 6.9 years. There are 26,693 (2.5%) MS TKAs in the current National Joint Registry with a mean cumulative revision rate of 2.63% at 5 years, 3.35% at 10 years, and 4.6% at 15 years. The Australian Orthopedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry provides survivorship data on 19,249 (2.9%) MS TKAs, with a mean cumulative revision rate of 3.34% at 5 years, 7.4% at 10 years, and 8.1% at 15 years. The Dutch Arthroplasty Register contains survivorship data on 1490 MS designs and a mean revision rate of these implants is 0.8% at 1 year, 5.95% at 5 years, and 9.8% at 10 years. The Evolution MP is the only implant reported in the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative and has a revision rate of 2.28% at 3 years. CONCLUSION: The MS TKA design has comparable results to traditional TKA designs across several joint registries and 25 studies in the literature.
