Soft‐tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty is an important step in optimizing the
mechanical balance of the knee joint. Softtissue contractures that result from varus coronal …

Background The functional and clinical basis on which to choose whether or not to retain the
posterior cruciate ligament during total knee arthroplasty surgery remained unclear after a …

This study was carried out to compare femoral component rotation of 18 knees from 18
patients who suffered from lateral flexion instability after total knee arthroplasty (Western …

Background There is no consensus whether a posterior-stabilized (PS) total knee device is
superior to a more congruent, cruciate-substituting, medial-stabilized device (MS). This study …

Aims The aim of this study was to assess the effect of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
resection on flexion-extension gaps, mediolateral soft-tissue laxity, fixed flexion deformity …

The effect of posterior cruciate ligament resection on the tibiofemoral joint gap was analyzed
in 30 patients with varus osteoarthritis of the knee who underwent total knee replacement …

Ligament balancing affects many of the postoperative criteria for a successful knee
replacement. A balanced knee contributes to improved alignment and stability. Ligament …

Using a step-by-step procedure, we measured joint gap during surgery using a simple
device with a torque meter in 45 osteoarthritis knee joints (43 patients) with varus deformity …

Materials and Methods A distraction technique and an electromagnetic tracking device
(Isotrak II; Polhemus, Colchester, Vermont) were used in fourteen cadaveric knees to test the …

Background There is no consensus as to whether to use a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
retaining design or a posterior-stabilized design for total knee arthroplasty. The objective of …
