The objective of this study was to investigate biomechanics of TKA patients during high flexion. Six patients (seven knees) with a posterior-substituting TKA and weight-bearing flexion >130 degrees were included in the study. The six degree-of-freedom kinematics, tibiofemoral contact, and cam-post contact were measured during a deep knee bend using dual-plane fluoroscopy. The patients achieved average weight-bearing flexion of 139.5 +/- 4.5 degrees. Posterior femoral translation and internal tib ...[more]
