Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Total knee arthroplasty will be performed using a traditional medial parapatellar approach. Distal femur and proximal tibia resections will be completed using intramedullary alignments jigs. Implantation of the femoral and tibial tray components will be performed without the use of bone cement. The approximate duration of the procedure is 90-120 minutes. Micromotion of the implanted components will be assessed by X-ray, using the pre-weight-bearing position as the base for subsequent measurements.
