4mm additional bone resection in the distal femur does not result in an equivalent increase in the extension joint gap in total knee arthroplasty

Additional bone resection in the distal femur is performed to increase the extension joint gap in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between the amount of additional bone resection in the distal femur and the increase in the extension joint gap in TKA.
