Encouraging results have been reported concerning the use of constrained implants, i.e., rotating hinge knee prosthesis (RHK), compared to less constrained ones. The purpose of this paper is to report our experience with rotating hinge total knee replacement, using only RHK prosthesis, to determine functional results, complications, and survival of TKR in poliomyelitis patients. We performed a retrospective chart review of 14 patients with a history of knee osteoarthritis following poliomyelitis that underwent primary TKR, for a total of 15 surgical procedure (one bilateral case). Preoperative and postoperative clinical measurements have been conducted for all patients using the Knee Society Score (KSS). Hip-knee angle, recurvatum knee angle, and Insall-Salvati index were evaluated with full weight-bearing panoramic view X-ray preoperatively and postoperatively. The 2-year postoperative clinical KSS significantly improved from the preoperative scores. The average clinical KSS improved from 32,9 (range 3\u201348) preoperatively to 77,4 (range 60\u201388) postoperatively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> value\u2009&lt;\u20090.005). The average functional KSS improved from 32,5 (range 10\u201360) preoperatively to 59,4 (range 30\u201395) postoperatively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> value\u2009&lt;\u20090.005). TKR is a successful treatment in improving knee function and patient\u2019s quality of life. Using constrained implants, especially rotating hinge implants in polio patients with a quadriceps muscle weakness, could be a good alternative to maintain a physiological kinematics and reducing the revision rate due to knee instability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s12306-022-00755-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,8,10]],"date-time":"2022-08-10T09:02:44Z","timestamp":1660122164000},"page":"155-162","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Total knee replacements using rotating hinge implants in polio patients: clinical and functional outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"109","author":[{"given":"V.","family":"Digennaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3992-9637","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.","family":"Manzetti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B.
