A functional comparison of medial pivotand condylar knee designs based on patient outcomes and parametersof gait

摘要

AimsThe outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is not always satisfactory. The purpose of this study was to identify satisfaction and biomechanical features characterising the gait of patients who had undergone TKA with either an anatomical single radius design or a medial pivot design. We hypothesised that the latter would provide superior function.
