OBJECTIVE: Total knee replacement (TKR) is the standard treatment for advanced stage knee @entity571 . The introduction of the mobile-bearing (MB) design has given rise to a series of theoretical advantages compared to fixed-bearing (FB) implants, although current literature does not reveal significant differences between the designs. The aim of this study was to estimate the clinical results of 2 cemented total knee prosthetic designs: an MB and an FB design. METHODS: A series of @entity1 with similar clinical and radiographic characteristics were treated consecutively with 100 FB followed by 94 MB implants. @entity1 were evaluated radiographically and clinically. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences were found in terms of @entity158 at 5 years in favor of MB prostheses (p=0.006). The " @entity158 on ascending/descending stairs" category on the KSS score showed improvement at 5 years for the MB design (p=0.003). MB implants showed better results in terms of ability to ascend/descend stairs at five years (p=0.002). With regards to the @entity1 ' ability to walk, there were differences at 1 year (p=0.020) and at 5 years (p=0.021) in favor of MB implants. CONCLUSION: At a mean follow-up of 5 years, significant differences were observed in the MB prosthesis in terms of @entity282 , ability to ascend/descend stairs, and @entity158 .
