Primary Outcome Measures The primary endpoint for Briefly, the patella was not resurfaced. Using a mobilebearing TKA (
NexGen LPS Flex Mobile; Zimmer, Warsaw, IN, USA), a device was used intraoperatively to place 4 0.8-mm tantalum beads at predefined sites in a polyethylene insert. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score was used for preoperative and postoperative clinical evaluations. Radiographic evaluations were performed using standing anteroposterior radiographs for the tibiofemoral angle and the Knee Society rating system for component alignment. 11 The surgeon was blinded to the allocation results.
