Outcomes similar between cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized TKA
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2014 Mar;22(3):556-64Eight randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in this meta-analysis comparing the outcomes of posterior-stabilized (PS) and cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty. Outcomes of interest included range of motion, flexion angle, extension angle, clinical measures (knee society scores), survivorship, and complications.

There were no significant differences noted in any other outcomes.
