We evaluated a unique implant system that included a universal femoral component (UFC) design and instrumentation that would accommodate the UFC on both the left and right femur. There was a commitment to test two hypotheses: firstly, that the results of this 10-year follow-up study maintained patient outcomes compared to the initial 6-year follow-up assessment and secondly that this unique Q-angle design maintained patella tracking over the 10-year period. The results of the 10-year follow-up period determined that the two hypotheses were supported with the Knee Society Score (KSS) data and continued to support the use of this UFC.
