Overview

abstract

  • This study compares the fixed-bearing PFC Sigma Total Knee Arthroplasty to the recently introduced rotating-platform version of the same design in 26 patients. At an average follow-up time of 46 months for the fixed-bearing side and 16 months for the rotating-platform side, no significant differences were found in terms of knee preference, knee pain, range of motion, overall satisfaction, or Knee Society scores (KSSs). No revisions, subluxations, dislocations, or infections were seen. Also no radiographic evidence of component loosening, osteolysis, or malalignment was found in any knee. The results of cementing the PFC Sigma rotating-platform, posterior-stabilized total knee show excellent patient satisfaction at 1 year and comparable clinical and radiographic results to the fixed-bearing version.
