Influence of Patellar Tilt Angle in Merchant View on Postoperative Range of Motion in Posterior Cruciate Ligament-Substituting Fixed-Bearing Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Conclusions: In TKA where a relatively tight flexion gap (≤ 6.5 mm) is created because of concerns about postoperative flexion instability due to a loose flexion gap, the patellar tilt angle should be < 5° for maximal postoperative knee flexion. PMID: 31788164 [PubMed - in process]
