Table 1 Results of medial and lateral compartment opening when varus and valgus stress were applied to all knees in extension and flexion
From: Soft tissue laxity is highly variable in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty
All patients (n = 113) | Varus stress/lateral gap compartment opening | Valgus stress/medial compartment opening |
|---|---|---|
Extension | 5.4 ± 2.4 mm (0.3–12.6 mm) | 4.3 ± 2.3 mm (0.0–12.4 mm) |
Flexion | 6.2 ± 2.5 mm (0.0–13.4 mm) | 4.6 ± 2.3 mm (0.0–12.9 mm) |
