  • Title: Correcting deformity in total knee arthroplasty: Techniques to avoid the release of collateral ligaments in severely deformed knees.
    Author: Mullaji AB, Shetty GM.
    Journal: Bone Joint J; 2016 Jan; 98-B(1 Suppl A):101-4. PubMed ID: 26733653.
    Abstract:
    Collateral ligament release is advocated in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to deal with significant coronal plane deformities, but is also associated with significant disadvantages. We describe steps to avoid release of the collateral (superficial medial and lateral collateral) ligaments during TKA in severely deformed knees, while correcting deformity and balancing the knee.
