Varus knee deformity is very common, and it can be classified according to the severity and
reducibility of the deformity. Pre-operative planning is mandatory to obtain a good result …

Ligament balancing is one of the most important surgical techniques for successful total
knee arthroplasty. It has traditionally been recommended that medial and lateral as well as …

Abstract Introduction: The success of Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) hinges on balanced
flexion-extension gaps. This paper aims to evaluate the correlation between imbalanced …

Background Extensive posteromedial release to correct severe varus deformity during TKA
may result in mediolateral or flexion instability and may require a constrained implant. We …

Aims Sagittal plane imbalance (SPI), or asymmetry between extension and flexion gaps, is
an important issue in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to …

Background Reduction osteotomy (removing the posteromedial tibial bony flare) is one step
to aid in achieving deformity correction in varus arthritic knees during TKA. However, the …

There have been limited clinical data on the effect of semimembranosus release in patients
with varus knees treated with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purposes of this study were …

We investigated whether the extension gap in total knee replacement (TKR) would be
changed when the femoral component was inserted. The extension gap was measured with …

Balancing a varus knee is traditionally accomplished by releasing the medial soft-tissue
sleeve off the tibia. Recently,“pie-crusting”(PC) medial structures has been described. In a …

Purpose Despite the documented clinical efficacy of the pie-crusting technique for medial
collateral ligament (MCL) release in varus total knee arthroplasty, its quantitative effects on …
