Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to acquire kinematic in vivo fluoroscopy data from subjects who were implanted with the Smith & Nephew Journey II posterior cruciate retaining (PCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or Journey II bi-cruciate retaining (BCR) TKA. CMR has previously collected data for the Smith & Nephew BCS TKA and compared these kinematics data to those of normal knees.

Detailed description

The objective for this study is to analyze the in vivo kinematics for subjects implanted with either a Journey II PCR or BCR TKA and compare those patterns to subjects having a normal knee from our previous study and to those patterns from subjects having a Smith & Nephew Journey II BCS TKA.

Lateral Kinematics Translations While Ascending RampBaselineAnterior Posterior (AP) translations of lateral femoral condyles during activity of walking up a ramp. Data represents the motion of a specific part of the femur bone (in this case lateral femoral condyle) during the specified activity (in this case a ramp up). The kinematics (motion) is measured from the beginning of the activity to the end of the activity. Positive represents anterior motion of the femur, and negative represents posterior rollback of the femur. Data is only collected at a single time point and therefore refers to the motion of the femur bone during a specific activity at a single point in time.
