Biomechanical Consequences of Tibial Insert Thickness after Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Musculoskeletal Simulation Study

Biomechanical Consequences of Tibial Insert Thickness after Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Musculoskeletal Simulation Study

The thickness of the tibial polyethylene (PE) insert is a critical parameter to ensure optimal soft-tissue balancing in the intraoperative decision-making procedure of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is a paucity of information about the kinetic response to PE insert thickness variatio...
