Popis: We compared clinical [including maximal flexion and range of motion (ROM)] and radiographical outcomes of high-flex versus conventional implants for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after 1 year. We also analyzed the factors affecting postoperative ROM in high-flex implants. The high-flex group (n=90) had an average maximal flexion of 129.8 degrees (standard deviation (SD), 5.2 degrees ) significantly higher than the 124.3 degrees (SD, 9.2 degrees ) of the conventional group (n=90), especially for patients with less than 90 degrees of knee flexion (P0.05). There was no significant difference in hospital for special surgery (HSS) score between the two groups. No knee developed osteolysis, aseptic loosening, or other complications. We found that, for high-flex implants, preoperative ROM had a significant effect on postoperative ROM.
