Mobile-bearing TKA improved the anteroposterior joint stability in mid-flexion range comparing to fixed-bearing TKA

摘要

Proper anteroposterior (AP) joint displacement is an important indicator of good clinical outcome following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesized that a newly introduced mobile-bearing posterior stabilized (PS) prosthesis reduces the AP joint displacement. The aim of this study is to compare the AP joint displacement between a newly introduced mobile-bearing PS TKA in one knee and a conventional fixed-bearing PS TKA in other knee.
