Clinical function was evaluated in the out patient clinic preoperatively and at 8 weeks, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.
We compared survivorship and clinical function, including patient preference.
Cooney's scoring system was used for the assessment of clinical function.
This clinical function is a key component of any hospital or office-based Electronic Medical Record.
We found no correlation between degree of clinical function and muscle deficit during follow-up.
Comparison with results on a battery of other clinical function tests was assessed.
All but 3 knees (94%) had good clinical function after polyethylene exchange.
The higher the hardness, the higher the attrition resistance, and thus, surface integrity can be better preserved during clinical function.
Some implants in clinical function today would not meet the commonly accepted standards of success currently used.
The available evidence does not point to the superiority of one design over another in survivorship and clinical function.
Even with high-strength ceramic cores, the crowns are susceptible to fractures during clinical function, probably the major concern associated with all-ceramic restorations.
