Highly Congruent Polyethylene and Posterior Stabilized Designs in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Overview

About this study

This study seeks to evaluate the difference in clinical, radiographic and functional outcomes between ultracongruent, medial pivot and posterior stabilized TKA bearings in a retrospective cohort.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a reliable and durable procedure. In contemporary TKAs, there are mutliple bearing options, the benefits of which remain unclear.
