The Disproportionate Increase of the Intraoperative Flexion and Extension Gap Space after Posterior Cruciate Ligament Resection in Total Knee Arthroplasty

The Disproportionate Increase of the Intraoperative Flexion and Extension Gap Space after Posterior Cruciate Ligament Resection in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Purpose: Maintaining gap balance is critical for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to elucidate if the extension–flexion gaps would be changed with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) intact (PI) and PCL resection (PR) during TKA. The flexion gaps were measured using two methods, open-(F...
