Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Analysis of the kinematics of the FINE Total Knee System (Nakashima Medical, Okayama, Japan) revealed that the medial condyle is fixed and the lateral condyle shows lateral posterior movement and tibial internal rotation. Analysis of the kinematics of the ADVANCE Total Knee System (Wright Medical Technology, Arlington, Tenn) revealed that the medial condyle is fixed and the lateral condyle shows anterior movement in the early stage, changing thereafter to posterior movement. With regard to rotation, initial external rotation subsequently changes to internal rotation. Analysis of the kinematics of the ADVANTIM Total Knee System (Wright Medical Technology) revealed that the bicondyle shows posterior movement, subsequently changing to anterior and posterior movements. Thus, unlike the FINE or ADVANCE Total Knee Systems, the ADVANTIM Total Knee System shows internal rotation.
