This study examined the kinematics of a cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) component that attempts to enhance knee flexion by improving posterior tibiofemoral articular contact at high-flexion angles. Using an in vitro robotic experimental setup, medial and lateral femoral translations of this CR design were compared with that of a conventional CR TKA design and intact knee under a combined quadriceps and hamstring muscle load. Both CR TKA designs showed similar kinematics throughout the range of flexion (0 degrees -150 degrees ). The TKAs restored nearly 80% of the posterior femoral translation of the intact knee at 150 degrees . The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) forces measured for the high-flexion CR TKA component indicate that the PCL is important in the mid-flexion range but has little effect on knee kinematics at high flexion.
