Reduction Osteotomy versus Extensive Release on Clinical Outcome Measures in Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty.

CONCLUSIONS Knees treated with RO were associated with greater improvements in pain and function than knees treated with conventional ER technique. Additionally, RO technique did not confer an increased risk for adverse clinical outcomes. RO may therefore by a safe method to decrease postoperative pain, achieve earlier functional recovery, and increase patients' subjective satisfaction after TKA. PMID: 28781360 [PubMed - in process]
