Literature review for previous studies that compared the outcome results between the PFC Sigma and ATTUNE knee systems

Paper Year of publication Type of study Duration Sample size Outcomes Findings
Indelli, et al. [31] 2016 Prospective, matched-pair 2 years 200 KSS, ROM, Oxford knee score, satisfaction rate ATTUNE had a significantly lower incidence of anterior knee pain (2% vs. 9%, p = 0.006), but significantly higher ROM (123 degrees vs. 115 degrees, p = 0.0009)
Ranawat, et al. [7] 2017 Prospective, matched-pair 2 years 200 KSS, anterior knee pain, crepitation, satisfaction rate ATTUNE had a significantly lower incidence of anterior knee pain (12.5% vs. 25.8%, p = 0.02) and crepitation (17.7% vs. 30.9%, p = 0.02)
Martin, et al. [32] 2017 Retrospective 2 years 1893 KSS, ROM, crepitation ATTUNE had a significantly lower incidence of crepitation (0.8% vs. 9.4%, p < 0.001)
Song, et al. [33] 2018 Prospective 2 years 600 KSS, ROM, risk of patella injury ATTUNE had a significantly higher knee score domain in the KSS (93.1 vs. 88.8 points, p < 0.001) and ROM (131.4 vs. 129.0 degrees, p = 0.008)
Chua, et al. [28] 2019 Prospective 2 years 130 KSS, ROM, Oxford knee score, Short Form-36, satisfaction rate No significant differences in any outcome measurements
Molloy, et al. [29] 2019 Prospective 2 years 2116 Patient-reported outcome measures, ROM, reoperative rate No significant differences in any outcome measurements
Hauer, et al. [27] 2020 Randomized control trial 2 years 158 KSS, ROM, WOMAC, VAS No significant differences in any outcome measurements
White, et al. [23] 2020 Combined prospective & retrospective, matched-pair 5 years 154 KSS, WOMAC, anterior knee pain, crepitation, residual pain, satisfaction rate ATTUNE had a significantly lower incidence of residual pain (19.5% vs. 36.3%, p = 0.02)
Maniar, et al. [30] 2020 Prospective, matched-pair 2 years 144 New KSS, ROM, WOMAC, anterior knee pain, crepitation No significant differences in any outcome measurements
The present study Retrospective 5 year 113 Modified knee score, ROM, NRS-pain, TUG, 2MWT, anterior knee pain, crepitation, patellar clunk ATTUNE had a significantly higher ROM at the 5-year postoperative follow-up (115.8 vs. 110.0 degrees, p = 0.041)
