What is the Effect of Posterior Osteophytes on Flexion and Extension Gaps in Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Cadaveric Study

Background: Posterior compartment knee osteophytes may pose a challenge in achieving soft-tissue balance during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Obtaining symmetry of flexion and extension gaps involves balance of both bony and soft-tissue structures. We hypothesize that space-occupying posteromedial...
