The Early Clinical Outcomes Following Unrestricted Caliper Verified Kinematic Alignment Using a Medial Stabilized Design Total Knee Arthroplasty With a Cruciate Retaining Insert.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although various total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implant designs are widely used, the ideal TKA design is yet to be agreed upon. Although the benefits of cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA and medial stabilized (MS) TKA have been reported in literature, the early clinical outcomes of an MS TKA with CR inserts have not been reported. This study aims to report on the patient-reported clinical and radiological outcomes of MS-TKA combined with a CR insert.

Methods

A prospective single-surgeon series evaluated the clinical- and patient-reported outcomes of 115 patients implanted with GMK Sphere CR. Patient outcomes were assessed with the Oxford Knee Score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores (KOOS), Forgotten Joint Score, and Visual Analogue Scale for Satisfaction. Ra
