Conclusion Based on the small number of studies with appropriate statistical analysis , we are unable to reach a clear conclusion in the clinical performance of medial stabilized knee replacement construct .
Background Medial stabilized  total knee joint replacement ( TKJR ) construct is design ed to closely replicate the kinematics of the knee .
Little is known regarding comparison of clinical functional outcomes of patients utilising vali date d patient reported outcome measures ( PROM ) after medial stabilized TKJR and other construct design s. Purpose To perform a systematic review of the available literature related to the assessment of clinical functional outcomes following a  TKJR  employing a medial stabilized construct design .
Patient preferences in knee prostheses.
A total of 344 patients underwent bilateral total knee replacement ( TKR ) using a different prosthesis on each side . Four knee prostheses were used : anterior and posterior cruciate-retaining ( ACL-PCL ) , posterior cruciate-retaining ( PCL ) , medial or lateral pivot ( MLP ) , and posterior cruciate-substituting ( PS ) . All patients had good or excellent results . The range of movement , relief from pain , alignment , and stability did not vary among any of the prostheses . Forty-one of 46 patients ( 89 % ) preferred the ACL-PCL to the PS knee and 27 of 35 patients ( 77 % ) the MLP knee to the PS knee . Of the patients with an ACL-PCL knee on one side and a MLP on the other , an equal number preferred each type . The MLP knee was preferred to the PCL by 34 ( 79 % ) patients . PS and PCL knees were preferred equally . Patients with bilateral TKRs preferred retention of both their cruciate ligaments or substitution with a medial or lateral pivot prosthesis
