Abstract
Although performing a physiologic aligned TKA resulted in medial-lateral soft tissue balance, the flexion gap was found to have greater magnitude than the intact knee. Notably, a neutral aligned TKA was found to be balanced, but also was found to recreate the intact knee flexion gaps. These results suggest that coronal plane stability can be achieved with physiologic alignment objectives, but the clinician needs to be aware of the potential to have greater laxity than the intact and neutral alignment surgical objectives.
