Rotating hinge knee causes lower bone-implant interface stress compared to constrained condylar knee replacement.

The more uniform interface stress suggests fewer density changes at the periprosthetic regions due to bone remodelling. Moreover, the lower polyethylene stresses are likely to reduce wear and damage. These findings reveal that the RHK design may have more favorable mechanical features compared to LCCK design in full extension boundary conditions, implying a potentially better survivorship. However, the findings should be interpreted cautiously as other configurations were not investigated.
