Isokinetic Performance After Cruciate-substituting Ultra-congruent and Posterior Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasties

NCT04419311 NA COMPLETED Results posted

The choice between ultra-congruent (UC) insert or posterior cruciate ligament-stabilized (PS) insert in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) sacrificing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains debatable. Despite the potential advantages of the UC insert over PS insert with its different design, there are concerns about inferior clinical outcome related to its use. Therefore, isokinetic performance was used in this study to objectively evaluate knee function after TKA and the clinical scores of the patients were also evaluated. To the best of our knowledge, no prospective randomized study has compared the isokinetic performance of the knee following the use of UC and PS inserts in TKA. The hypothesis of the present study was that compared with the PS insert, the UC insert would be associated with a lower clinical outcome and isokinetic performance following TKA. A total of 65 patients scheduled to undergo TKA on for primary knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to either the UC (32 patients) or the PS group (33 patients). The Knee Society Score (KSS) and isokinetic performance results of each patient were recorded preoperatively and at postoperative 3, 6 and 12 months. The physiatrist performing isokinetic tests and patients were blinded to the study.
