We retrospectively reviewed our first 25 cases of high-flex total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with an average follow-up of 28 months. The results were compared to a matched group of posterior stabilized (PS) TKA. There was no significant difference in Knee Society Scores between the 2 groups. The high-flex group had an averaged 138 degrees of knee flexion, which was significantly higher than the PS group (average, 126 degrees). Eighty percent of patients in high-flex group were able to squat, which was significantly higher than in PS group (32%). In patients with a small bone frame, occasionally, their bone stock of the posterior femoral condyle is inadequate for high-flex TKA. For the patients without special demands, the additional knee flexion from high-flex design made no significant difference on the results.
