The effect of the geometry of the tibial polyethylene insert was investigated in vivo loaded conditions. The decision to choose CR (cruciate retaining) insert or CS (condylar stabilised) insert during TKA remains a controversial issue. Triathlon CS type has a condylar stabilised insert with an increased anterior lip that can be used in cases where the PCL is sacrificed but a PS insert is not used. The difference of the knee kinematics between CR and CS insert remains unclear. This study measured knee kinematics of deep knee flexion under load in two insert designs using 2D/3D registration technique.Summary
