Mobile-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty: Better Than a Fixed-Bearing
Journal of Arthroplasty, 09/28/09

Post ZD et al. – The authors found no difference in survivorship at 12 to 23 years. Kinematic profiles of both designs did not differ significantly: rotation, flexion, and extension were comparable. Studies evaluating both designs in the same patient showed no difference in range of motion, knee preference, knee scores, and survivorship at midterm follow–up. Both designs were capable of producing excellent long–term results and clinical outcomes if properly implanted. The available evidence does not point to the superiority of one design over another in survivorship and clinical function.
