| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Although the volume of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed in the United States continues to increase, recent reports have shown the percentage of patients who remain 'unsatisfied' is as high as 15% to 30%. Recently, several newer implant designs have been developed to potentially improve patient outcomes. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of high-flex, gender-specific, and rotating-platform TKA designs on patient satisfaction and functional outcomes. METHODS: A four-center study was designed to quantify the degree of residual symptoms and functional deficits in patients undergoing TKA with newer implant designs compared with a 10-year-old, cruciate-retaining (CR) TKA system introduced in 2003. Each contributing surgeon was fellowship-trained and specialized in joint replacement surgery. Only patients younger than 60 years old were included. Data were collected by an independent, third-party survey center blinded to the implant type, who administered questionnaires about patient satisfaction, residual symptoms, function, and pre- and postoperative activity levels using previously published survey instruments. Two hundred thirty-seven CR, 137 rotating-platform, 88 gender-specific, and 65 high-flex TKAs were included in the analysis. Differences in baseline demographic variables were accounted for using multiple logistic regression statistical analyses. RESULTS: Patients who received certain newer designs reported more residual symptoms (grinding, popping, and clicking) in the 30 days before survey administration than the group receiving a 10-year-old CR design (CR, 24% [57 of 237 patients] versus gender-specific, 36% [32 of 88 patients]; odds ratio [OR], 2.1; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-3.8; p=0.03; and rotating-platform, 43% [59 of 137 patients]; OR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.3-3.7; p<0.001). They also reported more functional problems, including getting in and out of a chair (CR, 19% [46 of 237 patients] versus gender-specific, 37% [32 of 88 patients]; OR, 1.0; 95% CI, 1.1-3.5; p=0.001). Patients with newer TKA designs did not demonstrate any improvements in function or patient satisfaction versus those who received the 10-year-old CR design. CONCLUSIONS: When interviewed by an independent, blinded third party, the use of newer implant designs did not improve patient satisfaction and the presence of residual symptoms when compared with patients who received the 10-year-old CR design. Future studies should prospectively determine whether the purported benefits of newer implant designs improve patient-perceived outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, therapeutic study.

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
