Abstract
We implanted the total arthroplasty knee or TACK prosthesis in 40 patients with degenerative osteoarthritis. We used the same surgical technique in al l patients. Full extension and flexion more than 90 degrees were achieved i n all 40 knees. All patients obtained a HSS score of more than 88 points. The results confirm that the TACK prosthesis provides excellent results in patients with degenerative osteoarthritis if there is no significant bone l oss, serious ligament laxity or extensive deformation.
