    Abstract:
    This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the femoral and tibial component positions and postoperative knee range of motion after posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Forty-four patients (48 knees in total: 9 men, 9 knees; 35 women, 39 knees) who underwent posterior-stabilized TKA using a navigation system were included. The femoral and tibial component positions were measured from the preoperative and postoperative computed tomography data with three-dimensional evaluation software. We investigated the relationship between the knee range of motion, including extension restriction and maximum flexion angles at 2 years postoperatively, and the femoral and tibial component positions. Patients with knee extension restriction of 10° or more at 2 years postoperatively showed greater posterior flexion position of the tibial component than those with knee extension restriction less than 10° (6.2° and 3.9°, respectively, p=0.018). The postoperative knee flexion angle was positively associated with the internal rotational position of the femoral component (p=0.032, 95% confidence interval: 0.105-2.178). Patients with a knee flexion angle more than 120° at 2 years postoperatively had greater internal rotational position of the femoral component than those with 120° or less (5.2° and 1.5°, respectively, p=0.002). In conclusions, after posterior-stabilized TKA, the postoperative knee extension restriction angle was associated with the posterior flexion position of the tibial component, and the knee flexion angle was positively related to the internal rotational position of the femoral component.
