Postoperative Function Following Partial and Total Knee Replacement

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Osteoarthritis, Post-traumatic Arthritis

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with a fixed-bearing or mobile-bearing partial knee replacement perform functional activities differently than patients that have had total knee replacement or healthy volunteers that have not had knee surgery. The activities we are interested in include getting up out of a chair, stepping up and over a small wooden box, and standing still with the knees straight and also bent to 45 degrees.
