The purpose of the study is to acquire kinematic in vivo fluoroscopy data using the
University of Tennessee's tracking fluoroscopy system (TFS) from subjects who were implanted
with the Smith & Nephew Journey II posterior cruciate retaining (PCR) total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) or Journey II bi-cruciate retaining (BCR) TKA. CMR has previously
collected data for the Smith & Nephew BCS TKA and compared these kinematics data to those of
normal knees.

The objective for this study is to analyze the in vivo kinematics for subjects implanted
with either a Journey II PCR or BCR TKA and compare those patterns to subjects having a
normal knee from our previous study and to those patterns from subjects having a Smith &
Nephew Journey II BCS TKA.
with either a Journey II PCR or BCR TKA and compare those patterns to subjects having a
normal knee from our previous study and to those patterns from subjects having a Smith &
Nephew Journey II BCS TKA.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Must have must either a Smith & Nephew Journey II PCR or BCR TKA
- Must be at least three months post-operative
- Must have a Knee Society score of >90 with no ligamentous laxity or pain
- Weigh 250 pounds or less
- Should have good-to-excellent post-operative flexion
- Must be able to perform activities (without aid of any kind) and without pain,
walking up and down a ramp, performing a deep knee bend and rising from that kneeling
position after the deep knee bend
- Must not have had other surgical procedures conducted within the past six months that
will prohibit them from performing the study activities
- Must have body mass index (BMI) of less than 38
- Must be between 40-85 years of age
- Must be willing to sign the Informed Consent (IC) / HIPAA and PHI Release forms to
participate in the study
Exclusion Criteria:
- Pregnant, potentially pregnant or lactating females. To satisfy radiation protocol,
each female subject will be asked if she is pregnant, or possibly could be pregnant.
A pregnant person will not be allowed to participate in the study
- Subjects without the required types of knee implants
- Subjects who are unable to walk up and down a ramp, perform a deep knee bend or
rising from that kneeling position without aid or support and without pain
- Subjects who have had other surgical procedures conducted within the past six months
that will prohibit them from performing the study activities
