Knee arthroplasty implants are designed with features that provide varying articular constraint over the range of flexion such that the pattern of knee motion may also vary. Because the motions of total knee implants have a direct influence on patient function and device longevity, it is important to understand how knee implants based on a variety of design philosophies perform in vivo. Fifty-nine knees in patients with 5 designs of implants were studied with fluoro-scopic imaging during gait and stair-climbing activities. Many knees showed significantly different kinematics between the gait and stair activities, as well as differences from knees having other implant designs. The measured motions were consistent with the intrinsic constraint provided by the implant components and the variation in constraint over the flexion range. Key Avords: knee arthroplasty, kinematics, fluoroscopy, implant design, gait, stair climbing. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
