5. If both components are acceptable, no further
modification is necessary.
6. If the joint is acceptable in flexion and loose in
extension, consider downsizing the femoral
component with a thicker tibial bearing. If the
femoral component cannot be downsized, cement
the femoral component distal to the bone cut.
This augmentation with cement distally fills the
extension space.
7. If the joint is loose in flexion and tight in extension,
a larger femoral component may suffice. A second
option is a thicker tibial bearing with a more
proximal femoral position. A third option is a
thicker tibial component combined with a posterior
release.
8. If the joint is loose in flexion and acceptable in
extension, increasing the femoral size may equalize
the gaps. Alternatively, moving the femoral
component proximally and applying a thicker tibial
bearing will equalize the gaps. Another option is
to fill the flexion gap with the appropriate poly
and perform a posterior release to increase the
extension gap.
9. If a joint is symmetrically loose in both flexion and
extension, a thicker tibial bearing will usually solve
both problems.
In situations where two options exist to help solve the
soft tissue mismatch, the position of the patella or the
joint line helps the surgeon decide which option to
select.
Note:
After applying one of these solutions, perform
another trial reduction. This will identify any new
problem or a variation of the initial problem that
may exist.
