Many CR-TKA designs have sufficient medial-lateral intercondylar distance to place a retrograde nail, femoral components with a relatively posterior transition from the trochlear groove to the intercondylar box will necessitate a nail starting point closer to the PCL origin. This may contribute to iatrogenic postoperative knee instability for patients with CR-TKA designs.
