12-Year clinical and radiological results of a double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing posterior cruciate-retaining versus posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty

A subject of ongoing debate among orthopedic surgeons is the importance of preserving the posterior cruciate ligament in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but long-term survival studies are scarce. The aim of this study was to compare long-term survival rates, and clinical and radiological follow up of a double-blind randomized controlled trial comparing posterior cruciate-retaining (PCR) versus posterior-stabilizing (PS) implant design of an AGC TKA.
