“…The mobile bearing knee model, called TACK (Waldemar Link GmbH & Co. KG 1990), is characterized by the wide rotational movement thanks to the presence in the tibial tray of two semicircular guides that engage circular tracks on both sides of the polyethylene platform [3].…”

“…In the late sixties at the Imperial College in London a study was conducted on the model of an implant without any direct mechanical link between the components that resurfaced the distal femur and proximal tibia. The original model, known as Freeman-Swanson [3] prosthesis, was none other than the metal "roller" component placed on the distal femur which articulated with a polyethylene tibial tray; nevertheless, it was necessary to perform the resection of both cruciate ligaments. In 1970 Peter Walker, John Insall, Chitranjan Ranawat and Alan Inglis at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HHS) of New York, developed the Duocondylar knee ( Figure 1).…”

Major joint arthroplasty is undoubtedly one of the surgical success stories of modern times.The first attempt of treating patients affected by knee osteoarthritis with arthroplasty goes back to the midnineteenth century.In 1880 the German surgeon Themistocles Gluck implanted the first primitive hinge joints made of ivory.The first part of the twentieth century saw the return of interpositional arthroplasty with the use of autologous tissues or metallic surfaces.In the early 1960s, John Charnley's cemented metal-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasty inspired the development of the modern total knee replacement.He worked on the design of an implant that resurfaced the distal femur and proximal tibia without any direct mechanical link between the components began at the end of the sixties.Technological developments in the field of knee replacement continue to increase the range of solutions for the recovery of joint mobility of painful knee arthritis.
