The aim of this study is to evaluate the in vivo kinematics of TKA performed with two different prosthesis: a kinematic retaining (Physica KR) and a posterior-stabilized (Physica PS) design by means of fluoroscopic analysis during activities of daily living (rising from a chair, stairs climbing, leg extension). In comparison with asymptomatic knee. Patterns of femoral rollback will be analyzed to assess if they are motor-task dependent and correlated with clinical outcomes.

Assessment of the roll-back mechanism measured with the tibio-femoral contact points at different degrees of flexion
Using a software to replicate the movement using Computer-aided design (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.
