Soft tissue management is a major step in total knee arthroplasty. We aimed to analyze the relationship between sequential medial soft tissue release and the resulting change in the anteroposterior limb axis and the tibiofemoral gaps. Measurements were obtained using a CT-free navigation system (Ci navigation system, DePuy I-Orthopaedics, Munich, Germany). Concerning leg axis, each release step led to significant (P < .001) effects. The highest effect was seen for the 6-cm release in extension and the release of medial collateral ligament in 90 degrees flexion. The medial gap difference was significant for each release step except the 4-cm release in extension. The highest increase resulted when sacrificing the entire posterior cruciate ligament in extension and in 90 degrees flexion. Implementation of computer-assisted surgery allows this first navigation-controlled study, elucidating the effect of soft tissue release in total knee arthroplasty.
