Total knee replacement has come of age, and long-term results are much better than those for total hip replacement. The designs of the late 1980s have addressed function, mobility, wear, and long-term survival for the young and active. Conventional, cemented knee arthroplasty is highly successful and well represented by the state of the art in the Kinemax total knee replacement prosthesis. This design also has the capability of treating the postseptic knee, the knee that requires extensive bone grafting, and, experimentally, the young, the active, or the overweight patient.
全膝关节置换术已经成熟，其长期效果比全髋关节置换术要好得多。20世纪80年代后期的设计已经考虑到了年轻活跃患者的功能、活动能力、磨损情况以及长期生存率。传统的骨水泥型膝关节置换术非常成功，Kinemax全膝关节置换假体的先进技术就很好地体现了这一点。这种设计还能够治疗感染后的膝关节、需要大量植骨的膝关节，并且在实验中也适用于年轻、活跃或超重的患者。
