Summary

We report a large study of 331 patients at two years post operation who were prospectively randomised to receive either a rotating platform or a fixed bearing knee replacement of an otherwise identical design.

Introduction

The mobile bearing total knee replacement was developed as there are theoretical benefits in that it may allow a better range of motion, better patella tracking and lower wear rates. This study was designed to see if these potential advantages are borne out in practice when using a cruciate retaining design.
