Primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a reliable procedure with reproducible long-term
results. Nevertheless, there are conditions related to the type of patient or local conditions of …

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 …

Background: Traditional methods for correcting a severe varus and flexion deformity of the
knee during total knee arthroplasty can often lead to excessive release of the medial …

Background Precise biomechanical knowledge of individual components of the MCL is
critical for proper MCL release during TKA. This study was to define the influences of 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 …

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 …

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) pie-crusting technique in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is
one of the methods of medial release. The effects and risks of blade pie-crusting have been …

Objective To describe a new alignment technique of adjusted restricted kinematic alignment
(arKA) for the treatment of severe varus deformity in total knee arthroplasty. Methods Three …

Critical to the success of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the anatomical alignment. This
may appear as a challenge in an extra-articular deformity (EAD) that may be inherent in …

The rotational position of the femoral component has implications for patellar tracking,
medial and lateral ligament balance in knee flexion, rotational alignment against the tibial …
