Lessons Learned from Selective Soft-Tissue Release for Gap Balancing inPrimary Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Analysis of 1216 Consecutive Total KneeArthroplasties

摘要

Background:Soft-tissue releases are commonly necessary to achieve symmetrical flexion and extension gaps in primary total knee arthroplasty performed with a measured resection technique. We reviewed the frequency of required releases according to preoperative alignment and the clinical and radiographic results; associations with failure, reoperations, and complications are presented.
