Comparison of 2 polyethlene inserts for a new cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty prosthesis.

چکیده
Cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty has had high success rates but does not always have optimal functional outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare 2 polyethylene inserts of varying constraint that were used in a new cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty design to determine whether differences were found in clinical or functional outcomes. The use of the newer cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty design showed comparable results with both polyethylene inserts at short-term follow-up. The cruciate-retaining design had a greater than 99% survivorship, although further study is needed to make assessments regarding long-term functional results and outcomes.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful procedures in modern orthopedic surgery, providing high patient satisfaction rate. As a result, the number of patients undergoing TKA is increasing in number every year and more patients would be inclined to have the operation in near future . The demand for TKA is expected to grow 673% between 2005 and 2030. Knee surgeons are using mo...

The aim of this biomechanical study was to investigate knee joint kinematics following total knee arthroplasty. We compared eight congruent posterior cruciate ligament retaining and four ultracongruent cruciate sacrificing Natural Knee prostheses to the untreated human cadaveric knee joint. A six-degree-of-freedom testing device was used to evaluate knee joint kinematics with a load of 300 Newt...
متن کاملDoes High-flexion Design of Cruciate Retaining Total Knee Prosthesis Increase Postoperative Range of Motion?
INTRODUCTION: The range of motion (ROM) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most important factors for patient satisfaction, especially in Asian countries. To enhance the knee flexion angle, “highflexion” designs have been introduced in total knee prostheses. One of such design was a new design of femoral prosthesis, which increased the posterior cut on the bone by 2 mm and thicke...

Rotating-platform, mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty was initially developed using a posterior cruciate-sacrificing technique and design. Posterior cruciate-substituting and -retaining, rotating-platform total knee arthroplasty designs were developed later. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a minimum 4-year follow-up of total knee arthroplasty performed with a posterior cruciate-re...
متن کاملPosterior Tibial Polyethylene Fracture in Cruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty
Introduction One of the common prostheses for primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a cruciate-retaining (CR) design. The tibial polyethylene inserts commonly used in TKA are made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The CR TKA design retains the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which is believed to provide increased stability, promote femoral roll back, improve propriocep...
