Abstract

Purpose Valgus deformity presents a particular challenge in total knee arthroplasty. This condition regularly leads to contractures of the lateral capsular ligament complex and to overstretching of the medial ligamentous complex. Reconstruction of the knee joint kinematics and anatomy often requires lateral release. However, data on how such release weakens the stability of the knee are missing ...
