Introduction

Genu recurvatum is a deformity rarely seen in patients receiving total knee arthroplasty. This deformity is defined as hyperextension of the knee greater than 5°. The incidence of recurvatum has been cited in the literature as less than 1%.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to report data on 1510 consecutive total knee replacements (TKR) with navigation to demonstrate that the incidence of genu recurvatum is higher than what is cited in the literature.
