Intraoperative loose flexion gap may restrict postoperative knee flexion after J-curve design posterior-stabilized total knee arthroplasty.

The difference between flexion and extension gaps was negatively correlated with postoperative knee flexion angle. Looser flexion gap compared with extension gap should be avoided in J-curve design posterior-stabilized TKA.
