The rotating-platform posterior-stabilized (RP/PS) prosthesis was developed to take advantage of the benefits of the traditional RP mobile-bearing system and the posterior-stabilized design. This nonconsecutive cohort study compared the clinical outcomes of TKAs performed using a RP/PS mobile system or a floating-platform (FP) system. The clinical outcomes of 93 TKAs with a RP/PS prosthesis were compared with the same number of TKAs with a FP mobile-bearing prosthesis at 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Clinical outcomes differed between the FP and RP/PS groups as a function of length of followup. In the FP group, most outcomes peaked at 12 months and then deteriorated, whereas in the RP/PS group, outcomes stabilized or continued to improve between 12 and 24 months. The RP/PS group had greater maximum flexion throughout followup and better clinical outcomes 24 months after surgery. Patient satisfaction was superior in the RP/RS group. This study suggests the RP/PS prosthesis provides better functional outcomes, including greater maximum flexion and better patient satisfaction. We propose the RP/PS mobile-bearing system is a more attractive option than the FP mobile-bearing system for patient populations of elderly women similar to patients enrolled in our study.

旋转平台后稳定型(RP/PS)假体的研发旨在利用传统RP活动轴承系统和后稳定型设计的优势。这项非连续队列研究比较了使用RP/PS活动系统或浮动平台(FP)系统进行全膝关节置换术(TKA)的临床结果。在术后6个月、12个月和24个月时,将93例使用RP/PS假体的TKA临床结果与相同数量使用FP活动轴承假体的TKA临床结果进行比较。根据随访时间的长短,FP组和RP/PS组的临床结果有所不同。在FP组中,大多数结果在12个月时达到峰值,然后恶化,而在RP/PS组中,结果在12个月至24个月之间稳定或持续改善。在整个随访期间,RP/PS组的最大屈曲度更大,术后24个月时临床结果更好。RP/PS组的患者满意度更高。这项研究表明,RP/PS假体提供了更好的功能结果,包括更大的最大屈曲度和更好的患者满意度。对于类似于本研究纳入患者的老年女性患者群体,我们认为RP/PS活动轴承系统比FP活动轴承系统更具吸引力。
