Abstract
Aims
The aims of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to compare the long-term insert wear and migration of the tibial and femoral components between highly crosslinked polyethylene (HXLPE) inserts and conventional polyethylene (PE) inserts in an uncemented Triathlon fixed insert cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
