Mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty does not lead to better joint awareness compared to fixed bearing design: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty (MB-TKA) and fixed-bearing (FB) TKA are both widely used, with MB-TKA theoretically offering better functional outcomes due to its natural kinematics. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare joint awareness between MB-TKA and FB-TKA, as measured by Forgotten Joint Score-12 (FJS-12), to provide insights into patient-perceived outcomes.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted across major databases following PRISMA guidelines, without date or language restrictions. Studies focusing on TKA with MB or FB as the intervention and control groups, respectively, and reporting on FJS-12 were included. The selection process involved two independent reviewers. Data extraction was carried out using a structu
