The aim of this study is to assess the in vivo kinematics and range of motion of a single-surgeon clinical series of TKA performed with a fixed-bearing cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty that has a roll-back mechanism and compare it with the kinematic of the normal healthy knee. Patients would be evaluated by fluoroscopic examination during weight bearing activities (lounging, kneeling and stairs climbing).

Assessment of the roll-back mechanism by measuring the contact point between tibia and femur components in millimeters
Using a software to replicate the movement using CAD models. The movement is studied and the distance made by the femur on the tibia is calculated giving the information of the roll back.
Time frame: 6 months after surgery
