Objective To summarize the research progress of the design and effectiveness of gender-specific prosthesis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods The relevant literature on gender-specific prosthesis in recent years was extensively reviewed and analyzed. Results Gender-specific prosthesis is designed according to the female knee joint anatomical characteristics. In theory, it should obtain better effectiveness. But a large number of clinical studies have shown that the knee function, pain, and satisfaction has no obvious advantage when compared with conventional prosthesis after TKA for female patient. Conclusion Comprehensive evaluation should be considered when gender-specific is selected; and the effectiveness needs further follow-up.
