[Research progress of difference between high-flexion prosthesis and conventional prosthesis in total knee
Objective:
To summarize the research progress of the difference between high-flexion prosthesis and conventional prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty, so as to offer a reference for clinical choice of prosthesis.
Methods:
The relevant literature on high-flexion prosthesis and conventional prosthesis in recent years was extensively reviewed and analyzed.
Results:
There are some controversies in range of motion and complications between high-flexion prosthesis and conventional prosthesis; while no obvious difference is found in knee function and satisfaction.
Conclusion:
Comprehensive evaluation should be considered when high-flexion prosthesis is selected; and the effectiveness needs further follow-up.

The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
