Correlation Between Intraoperative Anterior Stability and Flexion Gap in Total Knee Arthroplasty

摘要

Background: Instability is a common failure mode after total knee arthroplasty. There have been only a few methods to quantify anterior translation with fixed forces applied during surgery. The purpose of the study was to measure the anterior translation with a new device and to analyze the relationships between the amount of anterior translation and the joint gaps.
