Abstract

Sixty patients received Academia prosthesis (FH Orthopedics) implants between January 2000 and June 2004. The patients were operated on by a surgeon experienced in carrying out knee arthroplasty. There were two series involving this population, which immediately and consecutively followed one another over time; the first between 2000 and 2001 where the fixed platform Academia prosthesis (“FP”) was fitted, and the other was carried out between 2002 and 2004 using the rotating platform Academia prosthesis (“Rot”). The aim of this work was to find out whether there were significant differences in clinical and radiological results between the two types of bases used by the same surgeon within a homogeneous population. The secondary objective was to create a database of clinical and radiological results from these two types of prostheses in order to compare them with other series.
