The functional results of 94 cementless Kotz prostheses are reported according to Enneking’s system. Excellent or good results were obtained in 61% of the patients who had a proximal femur resection and in 75% of the patients who had a knee resection. Only 10% of the patients had a complication that altered the functional status, and only 5% required surgical treatment for their complications. No case of loosening was observed at a mean follow-up of 2 years.

Abstract

The functional results of 94 cementless Kotz prostheses are reported according to Enneking’s system. Excellent or good results were obtained in 61% of the patients who had a proximal femur resection and in 75% of the patients who had a knee resection. Only 10% of the patients had a complication that altered the functional status, and only 5% required surgical treatment for their complications. No case of loosening was observed at a mean follow-up of 2 years.
