Background: In conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is resected. ACL dysfunction causes knee instability and is regarded as one factor in poor TKA outcomes. In bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS) TKA, the implant reproduces ACL function and provides anterior stability. The objective of this study was to evaluate preoperative and postoperative X-rays and accelerometer gait measurements in patients who underwent BCS TKA and posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA to assess the postoperative acceleration changes of knees after these procedures and to compare them in terms of joint range of motion (ROM) and the New Knee Society Score (New KSS).
Methods: The subjects were 60 patients, 30 of whom underwent BCS TKA and 30 PS TKA. Joint ROM, New KSS, lateral X-rays of the standing extended knee, and accelerometer data were evaluated 12 months postoperatively.
Results: There was no significant difference in joint ROM between the groups. Both had good New KSS results, but the functional activity score was significantly higher after BCS TKA than after PS TKA. X-rays showed a lower posterior offset ratio after BCS TKA than after PS TKA, with anteroposterior positioning closer to that of the normal knee. Accelerometer data showed that postoperative anteroposterior acceleration on the femoral side in the stance phase and swing phase was lower after BCS TKA than after PS TKA.
Conclusion: Compared with PS TKA, BCS TKA resulted in a higher functional activity score, closer positioning to that of the normal knee on lateral X-ray, and lower anteroposterior acceleration on the femoral side.

Bi-cruciate stabilized total knee arthroplasty restores the native knee alignments better than conventional posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the differences in the radiological, clinical, and functional outcomes and the estimated restoration rate of native knee alignment between total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS) and posterior stabilized (PS) design.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included consecutive patients between 2020 and 2021 who underwent TKA. The patients were divided into two groups (group I, Journey II BCS TKA [106 knees]; group II, Persona PS TKA [106 knees]) after 1:1 propensity score matching.
Does Cruciate Ligament Substitution and Implant Asymmetry Make a Difference for Total Knee Arthroplasty Kinematics? A Multi-Implant Evaluation.

Background: The non-implanted knee differs in comparison to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs, with regard to asymmetry and functionality of the anterior cruciate ligament and the posterior cruciate ligament. While surgeons may choose to implant either posterior stabilized (PS) or bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS) TKAs, substituting for one or both cruciate ligaments, the effects of symmetry versus asymmetry in substituting TKA designs have not been widely analyzed to determine possible benefits. Therefore, the objective of this research study was to determine if either TKA asymmetry and/or anterior ligament stabilization can lead to more normal-like kinematics and clinical benefit for patients.

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure to treat end-stage knee osteoarthritis. This study compared blood loss volume and other clinical outcomes between bicruciate-retaining (BCR) and bicruciate-stabilized (BCS) TKA. Ninety-seven participants who underwent unilateral TKA were enrolled.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting patient-reported outcomes after bicruciate-stabilized total knee arthroplasty (BCS TKA) in patients.
Methods: We retrospectively examined 122 knees with primary varus knee osteoarthritis that underwent BCS TKA. This study analyzed preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative predictors of patient satisfaction and persistent postsurgical pain following BCS TKA at 1 year after surgery.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Kamimoku Spa Hospital, Minakami, Japan.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anterior tibial translation (ATT) in the prone position after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: Fifty subjects (50 knees) undergoing bi-cruciate substituting (BCS)-TKA (Journey II: Smith and Nephew) and age-gender matching 50 subjects (50 knees) undergoing posterior stabilizing (PS)-TKA, were included in this study. Approximately, six months after surgery, and when the subjects had recovered their range of knee motion, following the Mae's method, accurate lateral radiographic imaging of the knee was performed with full knee extension in both supine and prone positions.
