Abstract:Introduction
Trialling is a key step in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and helps the surgeon assess for adequate balancing, range of motion, and stability. Despite this, there are no studies investigating knee kinematics when using trial versus final polyethylene tibial inserts.
Materials and Methods
Fourteen fresh frozen cadaveric specimens were cycled in a VIVO joint motion simulator. Using both simple compression and simulated muscle loads, joints were tested after TK… Show more
