PARTIAL POSTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RELEASE IN TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY MITIGATES EXCESSIVE ROLLBACK WITHOUT COMPROMISING IMPLANT FIXATION

Introduction Balancing the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) remains challenging in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Excessively tight PCL can limit range of motion, cause excessive femoral rollback, and induce anterior implant liftoff. While selectively releasing a tight PCL can r...

HIGH BONE STRAINS HELP US TO UNDERSTAND MIGRATION OF CEMENTLESS TIBIAL BASEPLATES

This study evaluated the relationship between bone strain patterns and early migration of cementless tibial baseplates following robotically assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Ten patients undergoing cementless cruciate-retaining TKA had CT scans including a BMD reference ph...
