Abstract:
Objective To compare the early results of total knee arthroplasty using high flexion (HF) versus standard posterior-stabilized (PS) prosthesis tibial insert. Methods From February 2005 to July 2008, 203 patients (216 knees) underwent total knee arthroplasty using Genesis Ⅱ prosthesis and were randomly distributed into group A (98 patients with 107 knees, HF insert) or group B (105 patients with 109 knees, PS insert). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the preoperative Knee Society score (KSS) knee score, KSS function score, and range of motion. They were followed-up for 1 year and compared using KSS knee score, KSS function score and range of motion. Results 91 patients (98 knees)were followed up in group A, and 94 patients (96 knees) were followed up in group B. The postoperative knee active range of motion was 121.1°±6.9° in group A, and was 118.6°±8.1° in group B. The improvement of knee active range of motion was 17.1°±13.3° in group A, and was 16.1°±18.8° in group B. The postoperative range of passive motion of group A and group B were 127.2°±7.1° and 121.0°±7.8° respectively. The postoperative KSS knee score was 86.9±7.6 in group A, and was 87.5±6.8 in group B. The postoperative KSS function score was 91.2±8.7 in group A, and was 90.1±9.3 in group B. The range of passive motion of groupA was better than that of group B (P ＜0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in other aspects. Complications include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), 4 patients in group A and 3 in group B,wound fat liquefaction, 3 patients in group A and 5 in group B, synarthrophysis, 2 patients in group A and 3 in group B. Conclusion This prospective randomized clinical trial demonstrates no differences between PS and HF in early clinical outcomes, except the range of passive flexion.
