Abstract:
We implanted the total arthroplasty knee or TACK prosthesis in 40 patients with degenerative osteoarthritis. We used the same surgical technique in all patients. Full extension and flexion more than 90 degrees were achieved in all 40 knees. All patients obtained a HSS score of more than 88 points. The results confirm that the TACK prosthesis provides excellent results in patients with degenerative osteoarthritis if there is no significant bone loss, serious ligament laxity or extensive deformation.
