Fixed versus rotating-platform knee arthroplasty for total knee arthroplasty is still a controversial topic. In this article, biomechanical and clinical aspects of rotating-platform knee arthroplasty are reviewed. In regard to its biomechanical characteristics, the rotating-platform knee arthroplasty design has been proved to provide less tibiofemoral contact stress under conditions of tibiofemoral malalignment. It also reduces the wear rate. However, in regard to its clinical characteristics, the mid-term and long-term survivorship of rotating-platform knee arthroplasties is not superior to that of fixed-platform knees. It appears that we are at a crossroads. In this article, progress in biomechanical and clinical aspects of rotating-platform knee prosthesis is reviewed.

5-year migration and inducible displacement of the uncemented LCS and ATTUNE rotating platform knee systems: a secondary report of a randomized controlled RSA trial.

Background And Purpose: Early migration of the uncemented cruciate-sacrificing rotating platform ATTUNE and Low Contact Stress (LCS) tibial components was classified as at-risk for aseptic loosening rates exceeding 6.5% at 15 years based on recent fixation-specific migration thresholds. In this secondary report of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) we aimed to evaluate whether the 5-year migration, inducible displacement, and the clinical outcome of the ATTUNE components were comparable to those of the LCS.

Introduction: Mobile-bearing (MB) inserts, designed to minimize aseptic loosening and to reduce contact stresses leading to polyethylene wear, are an alternative to fixed-bearing (FB) inserts. Most studies have shown no significant difference between MB and FB constructs, and there is limited long-term data comparing the two constructs [1,2,3,4]. The purpose of this study was to report the outcomes of a randomized controlled trial comparing MB versus FB inserts on patients with minimum 20-year follow-up.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: This retrospective comparative study aimed to compare the native patellar alignment and clinical outcomes of the Rotating Concave-Convex (ROCC) knee, which features a saddle-shaped rotating platform (RP) insert and a deep trochlea, versus the low contact stress (LCS) knee, which has favourable long-term outcomes and features an anatomically shaped trochlea and a cruciate-sacrificing RP insert. We hypothesized that the deeper trochlea of the ROCC would further stabilize the native patella, resulting in superior clinical outcomes compared to LCS-RP.
Methods: Consecutive patients who underwent patellar-nonresurfacing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using ROCC or LCS-RP were retrospectively reviewed.

Mobile-bearing (MB) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants were introduced as an alternative to fixed-bearing (FB) implants because of their theoretical advantages related to femorotibial rotational mismatch. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and radiologic outcomes of MB and FB TKA after approximately 13 years of follow-up. We compared the results of 88 patients with a mean age of 66 years who had received a rotating platform MB implant or a FB implant.

Background: Various factors affect the improvement of range of motion (ROM) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there are few reports specific to cruciate-sacrificing rotating platform (CSRP) TKA. In this study, factors affecting postoperative ROM improvement of CSRP TKA were investigated.
