Background
Acquisition of appropriate anteroposterior (AP) stability depends on the prosthetic design and intraoperative soft tissue handling. A bi-cruciate stabilized (BCS) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has a two cam-post mechanism, which substitutes for the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Therefore, appropriate AP stability is expected. Because the PCL is sacrificed during BCS TKA, medial stability and lateral stability are thought to be important factors to determine AP stability. However, no previous study has reported AP stability after BCS TKA and the relationship between AP and medial–lateral stability.
