[QUOTE="highplains, post: 946606, member: 46399"] The basic design and materials used in TKA are essentially the same. The most important thing is to see a reputable surgeon, and go with what he is most comfortable with. Each company has different instrumentation used to make the appropriate bone cuts and achieve a well balanced knee. The implant companies now market directly to consumers which, in my opinion, is not very ethical. The most important factor in a long term, successful TKA, is balancing the soft tissues (ligaments). The most common reason for revision of a TKA is instability (not balancing the soft tissue). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
