Limited medial posterior capsular release increases the intraoperative medial component gap while maintaining the joint varus angle at extension in posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty

ConclusionBoth full and partial PCR show similar clinical usefulness for increasing the medial component gap at extension and reducing component gap mismatch. A partial PCR can be used to avoid increasing joint varus angles at 0 ° of flexion.Level of evidenceLevel 2 (prospective comparative study).
