ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: We compared the midterm results after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using PFC Sigma RP-F mobile model with PFC Sigma PS fixed model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this randomized controlled trial, we analyzed 50 knees that underwent TKA with PFC Sigma RP-F and 60 knees with PFC Sigma PS fixed model. The follow-up period ranged from 76 to 104 months. RESULTS: The knee score, function score, and radiographic evaluation were significantly not different between the two groups at final follow-up. No revisions, subluxations, dislocations, or infections were seen. Also, no radiographic evidence of component loosening, osteolysis, or malalignment was observed in any knee. The results for both groups show good patient satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: The midterm clinical and radiographic results of the two prostheses did not show significant differences between the two groups. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level of evidence is level II.
