Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether patient rehabilitation is equal for patients operated with two different knee implant designs.

The patients are randomized to treatment with either a simple hinge design implant (fixed bearing) or an implant with a mobile bearing polyethylene. This design difference might in principle enable the patients in the latter group to rehabilitate towards a more normal gait pattern.
