    Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) effectively relieves pain and restores function, yet 10-20% of patients remain dissatisfied post-procedure.

  • 2

    The Attune® system was designed to enhance TKA outcomes, featuring improved conformity and a new polyethylene insert, but raises concerns about early aseptic loosening.

  • 3

    This study is the largest single-center analysis of the Attune® system at a 5-year follow-up, assessing radiolucent lines, aseptic loosening, and survivorship.

  • 4

    Patient-reported outcomes were measured using the Oxford Knee Score and EQ-5D-5L, with minimum clinically important differences calculated for meaningful improvement.

  • 5

    Statistical analysis utilized SPSS 25, comparing PROMs and RLL rates between Attune® and Triathlon® systems to determine significant differences.
