Abstract

Balancing soft tissues in the knee with the patella in place and with regularly applied force helps surgeons make decisions for positioning knee components in a manner that is friendly to soft tissues. A novel intraarticular device has been developed for achieving a balanced knee joint over the range of motion of the knee without requiring manual adjustments during surgery. Quasi-Constant force output was generated by the device at usual joint gaps for the knee sizes encountered during total knee arthroplasty.

Keyphrases: balancing, range of motion, soft tissue, total knee arthroplasty
