INTRODUCTION Debate has persisted for many years about whether to sacrifice or replace the posterior cruciate ligament when performing total knee arthroplasty. A paucity of long-term follow-up studies comparing outcomes between cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilised knees exist. We aimed to compare results at ten-year follow-up. METHODS A matched paired study comparing a cohort of 107 Zimmer Nexgen® Cruciate Retaining (CR) patients with a cohort of 107 Nexgen Posterior-Stabilised (PS) knees matched for age, sex, body mass index and preoperative American Knee Society score was undertaken. All patients underwent independent clinical assessment and knee society scoring preoperatively and at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 years postoperatively. RESULTS Fifty-three patients (49.5%) in the CR group and 44 patients (41.1%) in the PS group were alive at 10-year follow-up. There were no significant differences between the CR and PS groups with regards to functional assessment (P = 0.95), overall range of movement (P = 0.46) or patient satisfaction (P = 1.0) at 10 years. However, there was a significantly better score improvement in range of movement in PS knees compared with CR knees (P = 0.027). There were six revisions (5.6%) in the PS group and 1 (0.93%) in the CR group (P = 0.12). Both CR and PS knees showed excellent survivorship with no significant difference at 10 years (P = 0.068). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in functional score, overall range of motion or patient satisfaction between the Nexgen cruciate retaining and posterior stabilised total knee arthroplasty at 10-year follow-up. However, PS knees had a greater score improvement in range of motion compared with CR knees.

Abstract Background: Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fracture of tibia is an uncommon but serious complication during primary cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The first objective of this report was to conduct a retrospective cohort study to investigate the incidence and potential risk factors of PCL avulsion fracture in primary cruciate-retaining TKA. The second objective was to assess the functional outcomes of the knee after reduction of PCL avulsion fracture.Methods: From January 2014 to January 2016, 56 patients who experienced PCL avulsion fracture of tibia in primary cruciate-retaining TKA were included in study group. Patients in this group underwent reduction of avulsion fracture. In this period, we selected 224 patients (control group) for comparison. Patients in this group also underwent the same TKA but no PCL avulsion fracture occurred. Range of motion of the knee and Knee Society Scores were assessed. The forgotten joint score was used to analyze the ability to forget the joint. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05.Results: In our series, the incidence of PCL avulsion fracture was 4.6%. There was no significant differences (p > 0.05) with regard to preoperative or postoperative range of motion of the knee, final 4 year mean clinical score in study and control groups 92.4 ± 2.7 and 93.6 ± 1.9, respectively, and mean functional scores of 85.1 ± 1.8 and 87.1 ± 1.2, respectively.Conclusions: The incidence of PCL avulsion fracture of tibia is relatively high. Older age and female gender were two risk factors of fracture in primary cruciate-retaining TKA. Reduction of PCL avulsion fracture with high-strength line can achieve good stability and function of the knee.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Total knee replacement (TKR) is to provide a stable painless knee with adequate range of motion (ROM) for daily activities. The aim of the study is to evaluate various factors that influence ROM in cruciate retaining TKR postoperatively.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> Fourty four patients with osteoarthritis knee treated in our institute with TKR using cruciate retaining prosthesis are included in study and analysed prospectively. Mean follow up was 6 months. Patients are analyzed for following factors–age, gender, BMI, preoperative ROM, changes in posterior femoral condylar offset, posterior tibial slope after surgery. Statistical analysis of effect of all factors on knee ROM was done. Assessment was done preoperatively and 3 and 6 months postoperatively.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Gender did not affect the final ROM. Mean age of patients is 65. Age has negative correlation with ROM (p=-0.45). The mean knee range improved from 92˚ to 101˚. Factors that negatively affect ROM include, BMI (p=-0.04) and Preoperative flexion deformity (p=-0.03). Factors that positively affect ROM include, knee scores and good preoperative flexion (p=0.001). Males have good amount of flexion preoperatively and post operatively when compared to females.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Preoperative ROM, flexion contracture and BMI are the important factors affecting the range of motion in total knee arthroplasty. Proper counselling of patient preoperatively regarding these various factors and appropriate selection of patient is of utmost important for satisfactory functional outcome.</p>

Background: This prospective clinical study was performed to compare the clinical outcomes between patients with cruciate-retaining (CR) and cruciate-substituting (CS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: from July 2018 to June 2019, 52 patients (32 females and 20 males) with a total of 70 knees with a mean age of 61.11 years (range, 46 to 78 years) were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups including group A (Cruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty (CR-TKA) underwent 35 CR TKA, and group B (Cruciate-Substituting Total Knee Arthroplasty (CS-TKA) underwent 35 CS total knee Arthroplasty. The evaluation parameters included knee scores, pain score, functional scores, radiographs of the knees and ROM (Range of motion). Regular follow up done at 4 weeks, 12weeks and then every 6 months. All data were collected and analyzed with the help of suitable statistical parameters. Results: Both designs give equal and good results. We preferred CR Knees in relatively young patients and patients with smaller knees as its bone conserving implant and CS knees in patients with Inflammatory arthritis, patient with severe Varus or flexion deformity, when tibia cut is more than 10 mm and when intra-operatively findings suggestive of non-functional posterior Cruciate ligament. However, in our short term randomized interventional study Posterior Cruciate substitution Total Knee Arthroplasty had a marginally better outcome than the posterior Cruciate retaining in terms of range of motion but it needs a long-term analysis. Key words: Cruciate substitution Total Knee Arthroplasty, Cruciate-Retaining Total Knee Arthroplasty, Knee scores, Pain score
