We studied the effect of posterior condylar offset on maximum knee flexion after a posterior stabilised total knee arthroplasty. We also looked at gender difference and the post-operative change in posterior condylar offset. Eighty consecutive computer navigated posterior stabilised total knee replacements were prospectively assessed intra-operatively for maximum knee flexion. The flexion angle was measured and recorded with an imageless computer navigation system (Brainlab) before and after implantation of the prosthesis. This was correlated with a radiological review of the posterior condylar offset pre- and post-operatively, as defined by posterior condylar offset ratio (PCOR) originally described by Soda (2007) and modified by the Bristol Knee Group (2010).Background:
