Excessive flexed position of the femoral component causes abnormal kinematics and joint contact/ ligament forces in total knee arthroplasty

Abstract Poor clinical outcomes are reported in excessive flexion of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but their mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the biomechanical effect of flexion of the femoral component. Cruciate-substituting (CS) and...
