The influence of tibiofemoral joint forces on patient-reported outcome measurements after bicruciate stabilized total knee arthroplasty.

CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that BCS TKA reproduces the coronal laxity, which is similar to healthy knee. These results suggest that intraoperative medial stability is important for function and symptoms, therefore, surgeons should not release medial soft tissue for achieving better clinical outcomes after BCS TKA.
