Table 2 Bone recut algorithm
In flexion | In extension | Both in flexion and extension | |
|---|---|---|---|
Tight medial gap | Posterior femur recut in external rotation | Distal femur recut in varus | Tibia recut in varus |
Tight lateral gap | Posterior femur recut in internal rotation | Distal femur recut in valgus | Tibia recut in valgus |
Tight medial and lateral gaps | Tibia recut with greater slope and/or posterior femur parallel recut | Distal femur parallel recut | Tibia parallel recut |
