high flexion prosthesis could be useful with proper patient selection and standard principles of total knee arthroplasty. The overall clinical results of total knee replacement using posterior-stabilized high flexion prosthesis are almost the same as those using traditional posterior stabilized design as proved by several Level I and Level II studies, but there are several confounding factors present in each study that need to be dealt with. So, the functional results of high flexion knee arthroplasty is good in certain groups of patients, but its usefulness in all patient populations needs to be evaluated further. There are no specific complications attributable to high flexion design except for the excess bone cut compared to traditional posterior stabilized designs. The long-term survivorship of this prosthesis is still in question, but it has good early- to mid-term survivorship.

This choice of implants varie from patient to patient. If someone who is youngish less than 60yearsof age and has a very active lifestyle, I would like to do a High Flex TKR. But in my hands even a Standard TKR gives similar outocme.
