Gap Balancing vs. Measured Resection Technique in Total Knee Arthroplasty
A goal of total knee arthroplasty is to obtain symmetric and balanced flexion and extension gaps. Controversy exists regarding the best surgical technique to utilize to obtain gap balance. Some favor the use of a measured resection technique in which bone landmarks, such as the transepicondylar, the anterior-posterior, or the posterior condylar axes are used to determine proper femoral componen...
متن کاملFlexion and extension gap balancing in revision total knee arthroplasty.
UNLABELLED Revision total knee arthroplasty presents a unique set of problems when attempting to balance flexion and extension gaps. Loss of soft tissue support and established deformity can make balancing difficult. One needs to balance the flexion and extension gap heights as well as medial and lateral symmetry, which may not always be attainable. We used a set of stepwise techniques to reest...

متن کاملSoft-tissue balancing in primary total knee arthroplasty.
The surgical goal of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is to provide a well-balanced soft-tissue envelope surrounding a well-aligned, well-fixed implant. Some knee surgeons have emphasized that a good outcome in primary TKA is more dependent on soft-tissue management than bone management. Thus, it is imperative that the surgeon is familiar with knee soft-tissue balancing techniques to addre...
