Comparable outcomes and early revision rates between restricted and unrestricted functional knee positioning in robotic‐assisted total knee arthroplasty for varus deformities ≥10°

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Functional knee positioning (FKPos) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) optimises outcomes by balancing individual anatomical and soft tissue characteristics. Managing marked varus deformity presents challenges in achieving balance when tibial alignment is restricted to 3° of varus, necessitating either medial soft tissue release or ...
