Abstract

We developed a new posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a unique post-cam design that induces and accommodates internal tibial rotation with deep knee flexion. To validate the design concept of this system, we conducted an image analysis study employing a computer-aided diagnosis system for 24 TKA-implanted knees. In the analysis, the tibiofemoral relationship in the following 3 postures was evaluated: standing at extension, forward lunge, and kneeling with maximum knee flexion. The results of the image analysis showed achievement of consistent internal rotation of the tibia in deep flexion with a broad contact area at the post-cam interface as intended by the original design concept of this TKA system.
