Different intraoperative kinematics, stability, and range of motion between cruciate-substituting ultracongruent and posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty

摘要

The aim of this study was the comparison of intraoperative kinematics, stability, and range of motion (ROM) between the native osteoarthritic knee and cruciate-substituting fixed-bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using both an ultracongruent (UC) and a posterior-stabilized (PS) insert design in the same patient. We hypothesized less knee flexion and less antero-posterior stability in the UC TKA.
