| Abstract |
The aim of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel metal-free ceramic total knee replacement system. Thirty-eight primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were performed on 34 patients using the metal-free BPK-S ceramic total knee replacement system with both the femoral and tibial components of an alumina/zirconia ceramic composite. The clinical outcome was evaluated pre- and postoperatively at 3 (n = 32 TKA) and 12 months (n = 32 TKA) using the Knee Society Score (KSS), the Oxford Knee Score and the EQ-5D. Safety analysis was performed by radiological examination and assessment of adverse events. Postoperatively, the KSS, Oxford Knee Score and EQ-5D improved significantly at 3 and 12 months (p < 0.001). Non-progressive partial radiolucent lines were observed in six cases, but there was no osteolysis and no implant loosening. Induction or exacerbation of allergies did not occur during the follow-up. The metal-free BPK-S ceramic total knee replacement system proved to be a safe and clinically efficient alternative to metal implants in this short-term follow-up study. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 August 2016.
All research outputs
#4,353,540
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#140
of 1,627 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#71,374
of 407,690 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#4
of 33 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,627 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 91% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 407,690 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 33 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
