Conformity of conventional polyethylene (PE) and mildly constrained PE.
| CC-PE | MC-PE | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Coronal | Medial | 0.97 | 0.79 |
| Lateral | 0.97 | 0.94 | |
| Sagittal | Medial (anterior) | 0.97 | 0.94 |
| Lateral (anterior) | 0.97 | 0.94 | |
| Medial (posterior) | 0.77 | 0.43 | |
| Lateral (posterior) | ∞ | ∞ |
Conformity = (radius of the femoral component)/(radius of the polyethylene). ∞Due to the flat nature of the lateral posterior portion, the value was infinite.
