The BCS-type TKA significantly improved preoperative flexion contracture and reduced the amount of additional distal femoral osteotomy compared to PS-type TKA. This is attributed to the anterior cam in the BCS-type TKA, which leads to a smaller amount of protrusion of the posterior femoral condyle from the posterior margin of the tibial component in the BCS-type in knee extension, as compared to the PS-type.
