Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: AGC knee Device: AGC knee
The AGC knee is a metal and polyethylene total condylar knee system offering complete component interchangeability.
Experimental: Vanguard CR Device: Vanguard CR
The Vanguard CR is a metal and polyethylene total condylar knee system. The system contains three primary components: femoral, tibial, and bearing components, and a peripheral component: the patella button.

Detailed Description:

This clinical trial is designed as a multi-centre, randomized controlled study, comparing the Vanguard CR with the AGC in routine use.

The Vanguard CR system has been specifically designed to give greater knee stability through the use of more anatomic patello-femoral kinematics.
