purpose. To compare outcomes in Indian women who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using the standard Legacy Posterior Stabilised (LPS) versus the gender-specific LPS high-flexion knee prosthesis. Methods. 100 women (200 knees) aged 60 to 80 years with an arc of flexion of ≥90º underwent simultaneous sequential TKA for primary osteoarthritis of both knees. They were randomised to receive the standard NexGen LPS prosthesis (n=50) or the gender-specific NexGen LPS High-Flex prosthesis (n=50). Both knees in each patient received the same prosthesis. The resected bone from the posterior femoral condyle was 2 mm greater when the gender-specific prosthesis was used. Patients were followed up at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Range of motion, Knee Society score, and Hospital for Special Surgery score were evaluated pre-and post-operatively by a single assessor. results. The mean follow-up duration was 2.1 (range, 1.6-2.5) years. Respectively for the standard and gender-specific groups, the mean range of motion Gender-specific high-flexion knee prosthesis in Indian women: a prospective randomised study
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
