Results of porous-coated anatomic and duracon total knee arthroplasty.

The Duracon total knee replacement and its forerunner the Porous-Coated Anatomic (PCA) knee system have been associated with good results. This study reviews a series of 181 knee replacements performed with these systems by seven general orthopedic surgeons with follow-up to a mean of 6.7 years.

The effect of sagittal laxity on function after posterior cruciate-retaining total knee replacement.

We studied sagittal laxity using the KT1000 arthrometer in 97 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) in 83 patients using the porous-coated anatomic knee or Duracon TKA (Howmedica, Rutherford, NJ) with 5.4- to 9.9-year follow-up.
