Medial pivot designs result in improved patient reported outcome measures and range of motion when compared to cruciate retaining total knee replacements: A systematic review and meta-analysis
No statistical difference was observed for the majority of PROMs. PROMs including FJS-12, range of motion and functional outcome scores trended towards favouring MP TKRs; with a statistically significance advantage seen for pooled PROMs scores and ROM. However, there remains limited data relating to functional outcome measures within the literature. Further high-powered, multicentre studies are required to analyse whether MP TKRs are superior to CR TKRs regarding functional outcomes.
