Surgical Tipsbull Be careful of MCL and Patella tendon

hyperflexionbull Remove osteophytes early (decompress)bull Consideration for completing all femoral
bone cuts FIRST (easier to expose the tibia)
bull Flexion gap assessed while pulling up on thigh

Surgical Tipsbull Be careful of MCL and Patella tendon

hyperflexionbull Remove osteophytes early (decompress)bull Consideration for completing all femoral
bone cuts FIRST (easier to expose the tibia)
bull Flexion gap assessed while pulling up on thigh
