Study Population

8-10 subjects with Medacta GMK Sphere TKA, 8-10 subjects with GMK PS Fixed Bearing TKA and 8-10 subjects with a GMK UC Fixed Bearing TKA will be involved in this project.

The subject recruitment will be based on the clinical reports of the follow-up examination including the standard clinical assessed parameters alignment, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and the visual analog scale (VAS)
