Bicruciate-retaining (BCR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was developed to better replicate native knee bio¬mechanics by preserving both cruciate ligaments.
However, advancements in implant design and surgical techniques have renewed interest in second-generation BCR TKA systems.
Varun Kompala et al conducted a study aimed to evaluate the overall survivorship of contemporary (second-generation) BCR primary TKA implants.
The key findings of the study were:• A total of 1,087 BCR TKA implants among 13 studies were analyzed.
Further long-term comparative data are needed to better define their role relative to modern knee implants.”
