Long-term clinical outcomes of medial pivot total knee arthroplasty for Asian patients: A mean 10-year follow-up study

Many Asian populations have a unique floor-based lifestyle that might cause mechanical stress of the knees. It is important to clarify the longevity of a medial pivot total knee arthroplasty, as its prosthetic design could cause mechanical stress onto the insert. The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical results of medial pivot total knee arthroplasty for Asian patients in a 10-year follow-up study.
