Abstract:[Objective] To determine whether posterior stabilized (PS) prosthesis can obtain better clinical efficacy, kinematic functionand knee stability than ultracongruent (UC) prosthesis in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). [Methods] The databases, includingPubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Wanfang, CNKI, and China Biology Medicine Disc database, were searched for relevant studies onthe comparison of PS and UC prosthesis in primary TKA from the establishment of the database to December 2021. Two reviewers indepen-dently screened literature and extracted data. The quality of the studies was evaluated according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) andthe Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. Review Manager 5.4 was used for a meta-analysis. [Results] A total of 22 studies were included inthis meta-analysis, including 11 randomized controlled trials, 9 retrospective studies, and 2 prospective studies, with a total of 2 904 kneesinvolved. The results of meta-analysis showed that the UC group were less than PS group the in terms of femoral rollback (WMD=-5.20, 95%CI -5.85~-4.54, P<0.001) and the maximal flexion (WMD=-2.27, 95%CI -3.75~-0.79, P=0.003), whereas the UC group was significantlygreater than the PS group in term of the tibial sagittal laxity (WMD=5.10, 95%CI 3.45~6.76, P<0.001). There were no significant differencesin function score (SMD=-0.08, 95% CI- 0.30~0.13, P=0.43), pain score (WMD=1.88, 95% CI-2.32~6.08, P=0.38), ROM (WMD=-0.82,95%CI -2.38~0.75, P=0.31), flexion contracture (SMD=-0.05, 95%CI -0.25~0.14, P=0.59), and peak torque (WMD=0.26, 95%CI -2.91~3.43, P=0.87) between the two groups. [Conclusion] In the primary TKA, the PS prosthesis has better kinematics and knee stability, and isstill the best choice of posterior cruciate ligament replacement prosthesis.
