Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Because of different design mechanisms in fixed platform and rotating platform prosthesis, there are different opinions.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the early gait parameters and HSS scores following total knee arthroplasty with fixed platform and rotating platform high-flexion prosthesis and to find the difference between two treatment methods.
METHODS: Thirty-four knees in 34 patients with osteoarthritis undergoing total knee arthroplasty were evaluated by using HSS and gait analysis technique. The effects of total knee arthroplasty with fixed platform and rotating platform high-flexion prosthesis were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: By using HSS and gait analysis, we found no difference in two kinds of prostheses within 12 months following total knee arthroplasty. Through HSS and gait analysis technique, we can get more accurate and more comprehensive information.
