Symmetrical cruciate-retaining versus medial pivot prostheses: The effect of intercondylar sagittal conformity on knee kinematics and contact mechanics

摘要

Background: A total knee arthroplasty should restore the mechanical function of the knee and enable patients to perform desired daily activities. The joint kinematics and contact mechanics performance are important determinants of the success of total knee arthroplasty devices. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of intercondylar sagittal conformity on kinematics and contact mechanics.
