Background The traditional goal of the gap-balancing method in total knee arthroplasty is to
create equal and symmetric knee laxity throughout the arc of flexion. The purpose of this …

Background Achieving balanced gaps is a key surgical goal in total knee arthroplasty, yet
most methods rely on subjective surgeon feel and experience to assess and achieve knee …

Background: Gap-balancing is an alignment method for total knee arthroplasty with the goal
of creating uniform tension in the periarticular soft-tissue restraints and equal laxities …

Achieving rectangular flexion and extension gaps is important during gap balancing
technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, assessment of gaps throughout the …

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to assess the accuracy of balancing of the
flexion and extension gaps in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Measurements of the heights of …

Soft-tissue balancing is an important factor in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with 30
to 50% of TKA revisions attributed to technical operative factors including soft-tissue …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to prove the hypothesis that soft tissues are well
balanced using the gap technique with a navigation system in cruciate-retaining (CR) and …

Background: Soft-tissue releases are commonly necessary to achieve symmetrical flexion
and extension gaps in primary total knee arthroplasty performed with a measured resection …

Equalized rectangular extension and flexion gaps are considered desirable to ensure
proper kinematics in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We compared soft tissue balancing in …

Background Robot-assisted surgery was developed to improve accuracy and outcomes in
total knee arthroplasty (TKA). One important determinant of TKA success is a well-balanced …
