Abstract:
A newly designed stable total knee prosthesis was made for the severely destructed knee. This prosthesis was named the Yoshino total knee prosthesis, and is a non-hinged type prosthesis consisting of a vitallium femoral component and a ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene tibial component. Clinical results of 127 Yoshino total knee arthroplasties showed the following characteristics: 1) good stability, and 2) good mobility. Stability was exceptionally good, and the results were the same as the hinged total knee prosthesis.
