Gait Analysis after Total Knee Arthroplasty with Posterior Cruciate Ligament Retention Rotating Platform and Fixed Total Knee Arthroplasty

Abstract

Liu et al.: Gait analysis after total knee arthroplastyTo investigate the gait analysis of patients after total knee arthroplasty with posterior cruciate ligament retention rotating platform and fixed total knee arthroplasty, so as to provide ideas for clinical rationalization treatment. A total of 82 patients with posterior cruciate ligament preserving rotating and fixed platforms were selected for knee replacement in our hospital and were followed up for 1 y. The knee joint Hospital for special surgery score, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis index score and the application of a three-dimensional motion capture system were used to compare the parameters of knee joint kinematics and dynamics. In the application of knee arthroplasty between the posterior cross retained rotating platform and the fixed platform, the temporal and spatial parameters and motion parameters in the knee function and gait analysis were significantly improved compared with those before the operation and the differences were statistically significant (p<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). Both rotating platform and fixed platform can significantly improve the knee joint function and gait of patients with knee arthroplasty using posterior cruciate ligament retention prosthesis.
