INTRODUCTION

Mobile-bearing knee prostheses have been designed in order to provide less constrained knee kinematics compared to fixed-bearing prosthesis. Currently, there is no evidence to confirm the superiority of either of the two implants with regard to walking performances. It has been shown that subjective outcome scores correlate poorly with real walking performance and it has been recommended to obtain an additional assessment of walking ability with objective gait analysis.

OBJECTIVES

We assessed recovery after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with mobile- and fixed-bearing between patients during the first postoperative year, and at 5 years follow-up, using a new objective method to measure gait parameters in real life conditions.
