Abstract:Traditionally sequential medial soft tissue release is performed for balancing varus knees in total knee arthroplasty. Its effects on kinematics have been described in extension and 90° flexion in coronal plane but not through complete range of flexion. This study describes its effects on knee kinematics, throughout the range of motion of the knee, studied using a computer navigation system. Twelve cadaveric knees were studied. Femoro-Tibial-Mechanical-Angle (FTMA) was studied in extension, 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, … Show more
