The effect of hamstring tightness on intraoperative extension gap in posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Abstract This study aimed to determine the factors related to intraoperative extension gap (EG) in patients who underwent posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A total of 106 TKAs in 84 patients were retrospectively reviewed. Only patients who underwent the same method of bone resectio...
