Many groups are reporting results of in vivo studies of knee replacement motions. Despite this growing abundance of data, it may be difficult for the practicing orthopaedist to glean usable information from these highly technical studies. This paper summarizes key study findings related to implant design and surgical strategy. A number of important issues are explored: surgical technique, range of motion, patterns of knee motion, polyethylene wear, and functional knee strength.Go,Go

 Fig 1: Knee prostheses with a flat tibial insert and a femoral component with a large distal radius can exhibit posterior femoral translation with knee flexion1. However, achieving this pattern of motion appears to depend on surgical technique. Many knee replacements with the same or similar designs exhibit different patterns of motion2-9.
