Background To report the long-term results for a single-surgeon consecutive series of Scorpio non-restrictive geometry (NRG) posterior stabilised (PS) total knee replacement (TKR). Materials and methods Forty-six consecutive patients who underwent 53 Scorpio NRG PS were identified. Change in range of motion (ROM) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) over time were recorded. Radiographs were evaluated for alignment and radiolucent lines. Survival analysis for the prosthesis was calculated. Results At a mean of 10.1 years (range 9.1–10.9) following exclusions thirty-seven (69.8%) knees in thirty-one (67.4%) patients (6 bilateral) were available for review. None of the patients required revision surgery. Mean OKS score at 10 years was 37.8. The mean ROM significantly improved from 95° pre-operative to 117.5° at 5 years and 115° at 10 years ( p  =
