 136 cases will be assigned to each arm of the study. Each patient will be assessed two months after surgery, one year after surgery, two years after surgery, five years after surgery, and every three to five years thereafter. The principal outcome measures will be the Knee Society Clinical rating scale, the SF-36 and the presence of significant lucent lines.. These measures will be compared among patients in the 3 trial arms at 5 years post surgery or at the last follow-up point for those who drop out or become lost to follow-up. The Knee Society scores and SF-36 scores will be analyzed using analysis of variance models Rates of significant lucencies, perioperative mortality, as well as complications such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, neurovascular complication, and infection will be compared among the groups using chi-square tests . Rates of revision surgery will be compared among the groups using survivorship methods.
