Fixing the LET at 60° of flexion still provided IR restraint in the more functionally relevant flexion angle of 30°. Surgeons should pay close attention to the angle of internal and/or external tibial rotation when fixing the LET tissue intraoperatively because this surgical parameter is related to in situ slack of the LET tissue and, therefore, the amount of IR of the tibia.
