In a retrospective study we analyzed 183 @entity1 with @entity174 . 15 @entity1 were older than 60 years at the time of accident, with a mean age of 69 (62-81) years. All @entity1 had sustained an isolated @entity174 with a split-impression @entity174 in 10 @entity1 , an impression @entity174 in 2 @entity1 and a bicondylar @entity174 in 3 @entity1 . The mean time to follow-up was 5.1 years. In a matched-pair-analysis this group was compared to a group of young @entity1 with a mean age of 43 years (26-56) and identical lesions and surgical procedures. The mean time to follow-up in this group was 4.2 years. We observed that @entity174 at higher age resulted mostly from trivial accidents. Except from a prolonged inpatient time the initial course was comparable. In a 66 year-old @entity1 early implant removal was necessary because of @entity281 . Despite identical surgical treatment we observed a loss of reduction with incongruency of the plateau and deviation of the @entity2270 . Correspondingly older @entity1 displayed a statistically significant threefold increase of @entity571 compared to younger @entity1 . However, there was no clinical correlation using the Rasmussen, @entity13103 and Lysholm score. Both groups displayed no statistical significant differences for the parameters function, stability and @entity158 . According to the old age the only significant difference was a reduction of the Tegner score. Reduction and internal fixation of @entity174 in an elderly population displayed mostly a satisfactory clinical result within this 5-year period. The problem of loss of @entity571 remains to be evaluated in a larger group over a longer period of time.
