Randomized trial evaluates complications in two rabbit joint replacement models, highlighting improved outcomes with femoral implants.

This research aims to develop and compare two rabbit models for testing joint arthroplasty complications.
Designed a novel small animal model for joint replacement
Compared two implant designs (tibial vs. femoral) and surgical approaches
Optimized rabbit care methodology for ethical and effective preclinical research
Femoral implant showed fewer complications such as knee joint destabilization and severe swelling
Porous coated unicondylar femoral implant demonstrated robust osseointegration compared to the tibial implant
Adverse events were significantly lower in the femoral model, suggesting better outcomes for future investigations

Fearing et al. (2026) studied this question.
