Functional Outcomes are Comparable between Posterior Stabilized and Cruciate Substituting Total Knee Arthroplasty Designs At Short-Term Follow-up

Posterior stabilized (PS) polyethylene inserts have been shown to have excellent long-term functional results following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A cruciate substituting (CS) design has been introduced to minimize bony resection and eliminate concerns regarding wear on the PS post. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent TKA using either a PS or CS insert.
