Brief summary

This study aims to compare the clinical impact of Constrained Condylar versus Posterior Stabilized Knee (PS) bearings on patient satisfaction and surgical outcomes including mid-term survivorship among patients undergoing revision total knee arthroplasty.

Detailed description

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether a difference exists in clinical patient reported outcomes between CCK or PS bearings following rTKA. A secondary goal of the study is to compare both bearings in survivorship free of revision surgery as well as other surgical complications including instability, in early to mid-term follow-up.

Intervention model description

Randomized controlled trial with two groups: constrained condylar (CCK) vs posterior stabilized (PS) articulating bearings. These are standard bearings used in revision knees, comparing two types.
