Popis: Clinical factors related to cruciate-retaining knee arthroplasty failure in a long-term follow-up are yet unclear. The study was designed to evaluate the long-term survival rate of cruciate-retaining arthroplasty and clinical factors that may contribute to its failure. A total of 162 patients (188 knees) who received cruciate-retaining press-fit condylar arthroplasty from June 1993 to May 1994 were followed up. All patients were assessed clinically and radiographically. Revision for any reason was regarded as failure of arthroplasty. A total of 120 patients (138 knees) were successfully followed up. Survivorship over 17 years was 92.5%. Fourteen knees were revised. Tibial varus angle of the operated knee in the unrevised patient group was greater than in revised group. There was statistical difference between these two groups (P
