<h4>Background</h4>Posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty requires an intercondylar notch to accommodate the cam housing that articulates with the tibial post to create femoral rollback required for deep flexion. The volume of bone resected for the intercondylar notch varies with implant design, and newer designs may accommodate high flexion with less bone resection.<h4>Questions/purposes</h4>This study aims to analyze the bone volume and density resected from the intercondylar notch for t ...[more]
