Mobile and fixed-bearing (all-polyethylene tibial component) total knee arthroplasty designs: A prospective randomized trial
J Bone Joint Surg Am. 2009 Sep;91(9):2104-12.358 patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized to receive TKA with either mobile bearing or fixed bearing designs.
