Anteroposterior Translation Does Not Correlate With Knee Flexion After Total Knee Arthroplasty

摘要

BackgroundStiffness after a TKA can cause patient dissatisfaction and diminished function, therefore it is important to characterize predictors of ROM after TKA. Studies of AP translation in conscious individuals disagree whether AP translation affects maximum knee flexion angle after implantation of a highly congruent sphere and trough geometry PCL-substituting prosthesis in a TKA.
