| Popis: | Most medial stabilized (MS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) implants recommend excision of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which eliminates the ligament's tension effect on the tibia that drives tibial rotation and compromises passive internal tibial rotation in flexion. Whether increasing the insert thickness and reducing the posterior tibial slope corrects the loss of rotation without extension loss and undesirable anterior lift-off of the insert is unknown. In 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric knees, an MS design with a medial ball-in-socket (i.e., spherical joint) and lateral flat insert was implanted with unrestricted calipered kinematic alignment (KA) and PCL retention. Trial inserts with goniometric markings measured the internal–external orientation relative to the femoral component's medial condyle at maximum extension and 90 degrees of flexion. After PCL excision, these measurements were repeated with the same insert, a 1 mm thicker insert, and a 2- and 4-mm shim under the posterior tibial baseplate to reduce the tibial slope. Internal tibial rotation from maximum extension and 90 degrees of flexion was 15 degrees with PCL retention and 7 degrees with PCL excision (p |
