Abstract

Background: Despite growing evidence in the literature, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the use of the mobile-bearing (MB) design total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: In a prospective, comparative, randomised, single centre trial, 106 patients with end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee were randomised to either an MB or fixed-bearing (FB) group to receive posterior stabilised (PS)-TKA using a standard medial parapatellar approach and patellar resurfacing with follow-up (FU) for 5 years. The primary outcome was anterior knee pain (AKP) during the chair rise test and the stair climb test 5 years after surgery. The secondary outcome was the ability to rise from a chair and to climb stairs, range of motion (ROM), Knee Society Score (KSS), RAND-36 scores and radiological analysis of the patellar tilt.

Results: No statistically significant difference was found between the two groups at 5 years FU in terms of median AKP during the chair rise test and the stair climb test (p = 0.5 and p = 0.8, respectively). There was no significant difference in any of the other secondary outcome parameters between the groups at 5 years FU.

Conclusion: A mobile-bearing TKA does not decrease AKP compared to fixed bearings.

Flow-chart of participants. One hundred six participants were included for the study. Due to administrative protocol deviations, three patients from both groups were immediately excluded. Three additional patients of the MB group received wrong implant. Forty-seven patients in the MB and 50 patients in the FB group were available for the baseline data. Forty-two patients in the MB group and 48 patients in the FB group were available for the 5-year follow-up
