Comparison of Joint Awareness Between Fixed-bearing and Mobile-bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Titanium-nitride Coated Posterior-stabilized Prostheses

Comparison of Joint Awareness Between Fixed-bearing and Mobile-bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Titanium-nitride Coated Posterior-stabilized Prostheses

Comparison of postoperative patient's joint awareness as well as clinical and radiological outcomes between fixed- and mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty of which the prosthesis is coated with Titanium-nitride.

Despite numerous comparison studies between mobile- and fixed-bearing TKA as well as several comparison studies regarding clinical and radiological outcomes using titanium-nitride(TiN) prosthesis, there has been no study on postoperative joint awareness despite mobile- and fixed-bearing TKA using TiN prosthesis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosed with knee joint advanced osteoarthritis
• Age over 55 years old
• Scheduled to undergo primary total knee arthroplasty

Exclusion Criteria:

• Post-traumatic or inflammatory osteoarthritis
• Those who undertook previous ligamentous surgery
• Those who do not understand and give answers to a survey
