127 consecutive patients with 170 primary osteoarthritic knees, scheduled to undergo the total knee arthroplasty procedure, were randomized to the two variants of implant components: one with a high-flexion posterior-stabilized rotating platform mobile bearing prosthesis and another with a standard PFC implant device. Following the same surgical technique and rehabilitation protocol, the aim was to determine if the specially-designed implant met the high demands of flexibility for sitting and squatting for the treatment group.
