Abstract | PURPOSE: It is questionable how much of the PCL is really preserved following a complete transverse tibial cut during a cruciate-retaining (CR) total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is hypothesized that a complete transverse tibial cut jeopardizes the PCL tibial insertion during a common CR TKA. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess intraoperatively the amount of PCL tibial attachment damage following a standard complete tibial cut technique. |
