The Journey Total Knee Athroplasty 'TKA' project: A comparison of two concepts for improved function of knee replacements.

Patients with osteoarthritis (OA) requiring TKR will have better functional outcomes and satisfaction with the Journey knee when compared to the Genesis II PS knee as measured by degrees of flexion and Oxford Knee Score at 2 years.

Brief summary

The specific aims are to compare Gen II and Journey TKA regarding : •Patient satisfaction and functional outcome •The degree of postoperative knee flexion. •3D kinematics of the knee joints •Gait pattern •The rate of complications and difficulties •The migration pattern of the tibia trays

Interventions

The intervention is a total knee replacement with either the Journey TKA. Implants will use Oxinium femurs and be fully cemented standard tibia baseplate. The prothesis is permanently implanted.
