Medial stabilizing technique preserves anatomical joint line and increases range of motion compared with the gap-balancing technique in navigated total knee arthroplasty

摘要

Background: Medial compartment stability is important in total knee arthroplasty. The medial stabilizing technique (MST) has been proposed to achieve medial stability without excessive medial soft tissue release in total knee arthroplasty. Herein, we compare the MST and the gap-balancing technique (GBT) in navigated total knee arthroplasty.
