Summary
In this study the function of the knee measured at a medium-follow-up of 5–6 years was correlated with influencing factors concerning the implant of total condylar knee prosthesis in 90 patients. The only variable affecting postoperative extension was the preoperative range of extension whereas postoperative flexion was influenced by the preoperative flexion, valgus deviation of the preoperative AP tibal-femoral angle, position of the patella, and thickness of the resection of the distal femur cut.
