Abstract:
BACKGROUND: We compared clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty with the Low Contact Stress (LCS) rotating platform mobile bearing knee system and the Press Fit Condylar Sigma rotating platform high flexion (PFC Sigma RP-F) mobile bearing knee system. METHODS: Fifty cases of total knee arthroplasty were performed with the PFC Sigma RP-F mobile bearing knee system and sixty-one cases were performed with the LCS mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty. The average duration of follow-up was 2.9 years. RESULTS: The mean Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee score was 62.1 (range, 52 to 75) in the LCS group and 61.9 (range, 50 to 74) in the Sigma RP-F group preoperatively, and 90.1 (range, 84 to 100) in the LCS group and 89.8 (range, 83 to 100) in the Sigma RP-F group at the final follow-up. The mean preoperative flexion contracture was 6.7degrees (range, 0degrees to 10degrees) in the LCS group and 9.3degrees (range, 0degrees to 15degrees) in the Sigma RP-F group preoperatively. The mean range of motion was 124.6degrees (range, 105degrees to 150degrees) in the LCS group and 126.1degrees (range, 104degrees to 145degrees) in the Sigma RP-F group at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS: After a minimum duration of follow-up of two years, we found no significant differences between the two groups with regard to the range of knee motion or the clinical or radiographic results.
