Coronal Knee Laxity Measured During Computer-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty

4 pages•Published: July 12, 2018

Abstract

This observational study on fifty-six patients presents the coronal knee angular laxity measured during computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty. Varus/valgus knee laxity was assessed at extension, mid-flexion, and high flexion, and compared between arthritic knees and knees following trial TKA implantation. The data represented soft tissue laxity under surgical reality and may be used to further understand the clinical implications of intraoperative soft-tissue management. The findings highlight the potential for CAOS to accurately manage soft tissue balance in addition to bony cuts and overall alignment.
