Medacta GMK Sphere® Knee Prosthesis
All subjects enrolled will receive the Medacta GMK Sphere® Medial Knee Prosthesis
Medacta GMK Sphere® Medial Knee Prosthesis
There is no consensus within the Arthroplasty community as to whether a traditional post and cam-style Posterior Stabilized total knee device is superior to a medial-pivot, more congruent device. However, the majority of surgeons seem to prefer the former, though there is a minority that uses the latter device with great success.
To date, there have been few prospective trials directly comparing these devices, and none with the latest generation of Total Knee Arthroplasty implants. Almost all such studies have been retrospective and/or utilizing older generation devices.
