Comparing Fixed-bearing Versus Mobile-bearing Prosthesis in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Randomized Trial

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Osteoarthritis
Interventions
Device: fixed-bearing (P.F.C.® Sigma)
Device: mobile-bearing (P.F.C.® Sigma)
Registration Number
NCT01312532
Lead Sponsor
Isfahan University of Medical Sciences
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine which prosthesis is better in total knee arthroplasty

Detailed Description

Theoretical advantages of mobile-bearing devices led surgeons to use these prostheses instead of fixed-bearing devices as traditional implants. This study was designed to compare Fixed-bearing versus Mobile-bearing Prosthesis in Total Knee Arthroplasty through a five-year follow-up.
