Efficacy of posterior capsular release for flexion contracture in posterior‐stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Abstract Purpose Posterior capsular contracture causes stiffness during knee extension in knee osteoarthritis. Furthermore, in posterior‐stabilized total knee arthroplasty (PS‐TKA), a unique design such as the cam mechanism could conflict with the posterior capsule (PC) causing flexion contracture (...
