Long-Term Comparison of Fixed- and Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasties (TKAs) in Patients With OA ≤50 Years Old

October 4, 2011 updated by: Young Hoo Kim, Ewha Womans University

Long-Term Comparison of Fixed- and Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasties in Patients With Osteoarthritis Younger Than Fifty Years of Age

The purpose of the prospective study was to evaluate the minimum fifteen year follow-up of prospective total knee arthroplasties performed in patients younger than fifty years of age with osteoarthritis, using fixed- and mobile-bearing knee prostheses in the same patients, to compare

  1. functional scores
  2. rates of radiographic failure
  3. revision rates
  4. survivorship

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The randomized prospective comparison of fixed- and mobile-bearing total knee designs in the same patients younger than fifty years of age is limited. The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term clinical and radiographic results of fixed- and mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasties in patients younger than fifty years of age with osteoarthritis.
