Abstract
This study compared two total knee prostheses to determine whether the clinical and radiographic outcomes were different, focusing primarily on the patellofemoral articulation. The study group was comprised of 75 Synatomic (short-stemmed, anatomic VF type) and 79 AGC 2000 (universal, nonanatomic) prostheses. Patients underwent follow-up for an average of 63 and 50 months, respectively. At latest follow-up, the mean knee joint score was 84.4 in the Synatomic and 86.5 in the AGC group. Mean knee function scores were 63.5 and 63.4, respectively. No statistically significant difference was noted between the two prostheses.
