Effect of Medial Soft Tissue Releases During Posterior-Stabilized Total Knee Arthroplasty on Contact Kinematics and Patient-Reported Outcomes
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Minimal to extensive medial soft tissue releases are part of the exposure and achieving adequate varus knee balance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, the effect of these releases on knee kinematics and patient-reported outcomes is unclear. Our objective was to compare the postoperative in vivo tibiofemoral contact kinematics of a posterior-stabilized TKA between patients who received minimal medial soft tissue releases …
