“…The soft tissues on the medial side of the knee are contracted and need to be released in a varus knee [ 3 ], whereas in a valgus knee, the soft tissues on the lateral side of the knee are contracted and require release [ 1 – 3 ]. There are varying degrees of patellofemoral arthritis, and patellar tracking should be optimized to obtain superior outcomes, which in many instances, especially with valgus knees, may require a lateral retinacular release [ 4 6 ]. There is a paucity of literature to help understand the influence of individual deformities on the contralateral knee and their importance in management by total knee replacement.…”
