Abstract :
We have read with great interest the paper by Molt et al.
2016 comparing the 5 year migration of the tibial component
measured with RSA for the Triathlon and Duracon TKP in 60
patients. The authors also look at the predictive value of 3 dif-
ferent migration thresholds in 42 patients with complete data:
MTPM of < 0.5mm at 1 year (Pijls et al. 2012)
MTPM < 0.2mm between 1 and 2 year (Ryd et al. 1995)
MTPM < 0.3mm between 2 and 5 years (Ryd et al. 1995)
