Brief Summary

Pain, weakness, instability, and progressive dysfunction are the hallmarks of arthritis of the knee. Total knee replacement may frequently be the only therapeutic intervention to provide adequate improvement in pain and function. Both fixed bearing and mobile bearing knees have a long track record of clinical success. Mobile bearing designs have theoretical advantages of decreased contact stresses on the tibial tray, decreased polyethylene wear, and improved range of motion relative to fixed bearing designs. These theoretical advantages may become especially important in the young patient who requires a knee arthroplasty. This study will attempt to see if there is a clinical difference in outcome between mobile bearing and fixed bearing knee arthroplasties in patients who require total knee replacement.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Maximum Knee Flexion

    The range of knee motion was measured clinically with use of a goniometer. Measurements were performed by physician assistants in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery who were blinded to the type of implant used. The subject was positioned supine on the examination table, and maximum active flexion was measured.

    2 years post-surgery, 5 years post-surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Knee Society Function Score

    5 years post surgery

  • Knee Society Pain Score

    5 years post-surgery

  • Knee Society Stair Climbing Score

    two years post-surgery, five years post-surgery

  • Percentage of Knees Surviving at 5 Years

    5 years post-surgery

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients undergoing unilateral primary knee surgery for degenerative joint disease (DJD).

You may not qualify if:

  • Severe deformity greater than or equal to 20 degrees varus, valgus malalignment
  • Osteomyelitis, septicemia, or other active infections that may spread to other areas of the body
  • The presence of infections, highly communicable diseases, e.g., AIDS, active tuberculosis, venereal disease, hepatitis
  • Significant neurological or musculoskeletal disorders or disease that may adversely affect normal gait or weight bearing
  • Metastatic disease
  • Any congenital, developmental, or other bone disease or previous knee surgery that may, in the surgeon's judgement, interfere with total knee prosthesis survival or success, e.g., Paget's disease, Charcot's disease secondary to diabetes, severe osteoporosis, previous high tibial osteotomy, etc.
  • Presence of previous prosthetic knee replacement device (any type)
  • Arthrodesis of the affected knee
  • Patients not requiring patella resurfacing.
