Abstract
An extension angle between 0° and 5° in the passive extension position immediately after TKA can be considered ideal up to 5 years of follow-up. Patients with flexion contracture greater than 5° in passive extension and patients with hyperextension should be followed up to assess whether the condition will worsen.
