  • A mechanical comparison of 2 posterior-stabilizing designs : Insall/Burstein 2 knee and Bisurface knee
    The Journal of arthroplasty, 2002
    Co-Authors: Masao Akagi, Toyoji Ueo, Haruki Takagi, Chiaki Hamanishi, Takashi Nakamura
    Abstract:

    A posterior-stabilizing knee prosthesis, called the Bisurface knee (Kyocera Corp, Kyoto, Japan), with a Ball-and-Socket Joint installed in the midposterior portion of the tibiofemoral Joint, has been developed to satisfy 2 conflicting demands in knee Joint design: kinematics and wear resistance. To confirm if the prosthesis has achieved its design objectives, a contact area and stress study was done throughout the range of motion and compared with results obtained for the Insall-Burstein 2 knee. The posterior-stabilizing ability of the Ball-and-Socket Joint also was assessed. This study showed that the Ball-and-Socket Joint could provide sufficient posterior stability, earlier start of flexion, and lower contact stress in the tibial polyethylene insert in flexion. The design of the Bisurface knee could provide a good balance between kinematics, stability, and wear resistance.

  • The Bisurface total knee replacement: a unique design for flexion. Four-to-nine-year follow-up study.
    The Journal of bone and joint surgery. American volume, 2000
    Co-Authors: Masao Akagi, Toyoji Ueo, Takashi Nakamura, Yoshitaka Matsusue, Kohichi Nishijyo, Eijiro Ohnishi
    Abstract:

    AbstractBackground:The Bisurface knee prosthesis was designed in 1989 to improve knee flexion without affecting the durability of the prosthesis. The prosthesis has a unique Ball-and-Socket Joint in the midposterior portion of the femoral and tibial components, which functions as a posterior stabili
