Download scientific diagram | Navigation image of the femoral component planning. The size of the component matches the individual model of this patient knee well. Femoral component is placed at 0° of flexion. Please notice that the flexion gap is 12 mm being 1.5 mm larger than the extension gap and hence showing unequal flexion and extension gaps. from publication: Intentional Femoral Component Flexion - A Method to Balance the Flexion-extension Gap in Navigated Total Knee Replacement | Introduction: Flexion of the femoral component has been described as a theoretical possibility to balance flexion and extension gap. Computer navigation has made it possible to intentionally flex the femoral component in a controlled fashion to take advantage of the | Knee, Navigation and Balance | ResearchGate, the professional network for scientists.
