Description
Kinoshita and five co-authors published a 2026 ten-year follow-up of a trial comparing two knee replacement designs. One keeps both cruciate ligaments, aiming for natural motion; the other keeps one. Precise X-ray tracking measured how much the shin implant migrates over a decade, alongside patient-reported knee scores. Twenty-five patients sat in each group.
At ten years, implant drift was small in both groups and not clearly different, about 0.88 versus 0.64 millimeters on average. Knee scores improved along similar paths. Two revisions occurred in the both-ligament group, none in the other. The authors conclude fixation is equally sound, while noting the both-ligament design brought more problems and needs careful patient choice.
