Abstract:
Since its introduction in 1996, the Genesis II Total Knee System has produced good clinical results in patients
undergoing primary total knee replacement. A systematic review of the literature–the first of its kind for this
device–was undertaken to collect data on the Genesis II in order to provide a better understanding of its
medium- to long-term performance. Of 124 Genesis II-related studies published in the literature, 11 met the
eligibility criteria and were included in the final analysis. The included studies had a mean follow-up length of
38.1 months. Data from 1201 knees were available for review. Patients were an average of 70.5 years of age
and predominantly female (63%). Findings indicated that the revision rate with this implant is low with up to
11.9 years of follow-up, with 14 revisions in total. The survival rate ranged from 100% at 1 and 2 years to 96.0%
at 11.9 years. The mean Knee Society knee score improved 51.0 points from preoperative to postoperative
evaluation. In conclusion, the Genesis II exhibited good clinical performance with up to 11 years follow-up,
with an encouraging rate of survival and improvement in function. Additional studies with larger sample sizes
and longer follow-up periods are needed to better understand the long-term performance of this implant.
