“…Multiple studies support the use of cruciate retaining (CR) knee implants in TKA with FFD (18). However, as the severity of the FFD becomes more pronounced and the potential soft tissue and osseous adjustments become more involved to balance the knee, considerations for implant use may favor those of more constraint (4).…”

Fixed flexion deformities (FFD) present several unique challenges in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and require careful consideration to achieve optimal outcomes. FFD alters normal knee biomechanics and increases energy expenditure (1). They may be attributed to both bony deformities and fibrosed soft tissues, which must be addressed in stepwise fashion at the time of surgery. A literature review was conducted utilizing key words “fixed flexion deformity TKA”. This review article aims to discuss the anatomy and pathology, preoperative evaluation, classification system, surgical techniques for addressing deformity, implant selection considerations, postoperative protocols, clinical outcomes, and potential complications associated with correcting FFD. By comprehensively addressing these aspects, surgeons can optimize surgical planning and improve outcomes in patients with FFD undergoing TKA.

“…Patients with FFD experience difficulties in walking, climbing stairs, and performing basic movements, leading to a considerable impairment in their quality of life. Moreover, FFD can complicate the surgical procedure and affect the accuracy of component alignment and ligament balancing, potentially influencing the long-term success of TKA [4] . The purpose of this review article is to explore the results and outcomes of surgical correction of FFD during TKA in patients with knee osteoarthritis.…”

“…Flexion Deformity (FFD) Correction during Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA): Numerous studies have investigated the surgical correction of FFD during TKA, aiming to assess functional outcomes, pain relief, range of motion improvements, and the rates of complications associated with the procedure [9] . Functional Outcomes and Pain Relief: Studies evaluating functional outcomes following surgical correction of FFD during TKA have reported significant improvements in various parameters [4] : Improved Range of Motion: Surgical correction of FFD has consistently shown improvements in achieving full extension and increasing knee flexion. Studies have reported increases in range of motion, allowing patients to perform activities with greater ease [33] .…”

Background: Fixed flexion deformity (FFD) is a common manifestation of knee osteoarthritis (OA) that significantly impacts patients' functional abilities and quality of life. Surgical correction of FFD during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to restore joint alignment and improve range of motion. However, a comprehensive understanding of the outcomes and factors influencing the success of this procedure is essential. Objectives: This review article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the results of surgical correction of FFD during TKA in patients with knee OA. It examines the surgical techniques used, evaluates functional outcomes, pain relief, and range of motion improvements, and assesses the reported rates of complications. Additionally, the durability of the correction and its impact on patient satisfaction and quality of life are explored. Factors influencing long-term success or failure of the procedure are identified. Conclusions: Surgical correction of FFD during TKA has shown promising results in terms of functional improvements, pain relief, and range of motion. Patients experience enhanced functional abilities and improved quality of life following surgery. While complications can occur, meticulous surgical techniques, proper patient selection, and adherence to best practices can help minimize their occurrence. Factors such as surgical technique, patient compliance with rehabilitation, implant selection, and patient-specific characteristics influence the long-term success of the procedure.
