High-Flexion Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Prosthesis: Is It Worth the Hype?
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-flexion knee prosthesis was introduced with the aim of obtaining higher degree of flexion and good survivorship in patients with high functional demands or those requiring squatting, kneeling, etc., which is more common in Asians. Based on all the research and experience with this prosthesis, it was concluded that high flexion designs meet the need of deeper degrees of flexion in selected sets of patients only. Results were equal and comparable to the traditional standard posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty design and superior to it in terms of gaining more flexion and fulfilling activities, such as squatting, kneeling, and sitting cross-legged.

Standard versus high-flexion posterior stabilized total knee prostheses.
This meta-analysis compared clinical outcomes between standard and high-flexion posterior-stabilized total knee prostheses to evaluate which type of total knee prosthesis was superior. Randomized, controlled trials published until October 2013 comparing standard and high-flexion posterior-stabilized total knee prostheses were reviewed. Methodologic quality was assessed with the Physiotherapy Ev...
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...
متن کاملPosterior cruciate ligament removal contributes to abnormal knee motion during posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.
Abnormal anterior translation of the femur on the tibia has been observed in mid flexion (20-60 degrees ) following posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty. The underlying biomechanical causes of this abnormal motion remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to isolate the effects of posterior cruciate ligament removal on knee motion after total knee arthroplasty. We posed two question...

BACKGROUND Special high-flexion prosthetic designs show a small increase in postoperative flexion compared to standard designs and some papers show increased anterior knee pain with these prosthesis. METHODS A prospective double blind randomized controlled trial investigates the difference in flexion and anterior knee pain between standard and high-flexion total knee arthroplasty. In total 47...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the midterm clinical outcome, functional outcome, associated complications, and survivorship of high-flexion posterior-stabilized rotating-platform total knee arthroplasty. METHODS We prospectively analyzed 701 knees in 501 patients, who underwent total knee arthroplasty using high-flexion posterior-stabilized rotating-platform prosthesis. Patients were assessed preoper...
