PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Weeks to 2 Years Post-op, based on on the intervals listed

Population: Analysis was determined by calculating the measurements of the enrolled cases who completed the stated visit interval.

Postoperative ROM was calculated by taking the measurement of patient flexion minus the measurement of patients' extension.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 Weeks to 2 Years Post-op, based on on the intervals listed

Scores were calculated from responses on a modified Knee Society Score by the enrolled subjects for the stated visit intervals. Grading for the Knee Society Score is based on a scale from 0-100 and results are established follows: 80-100 =Excellent; 70-79 = Good; 60-69 = Fair; and Below 60 = Poor.
