Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the benefits of using a tibial extension during total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which is typically not standard practice.
- Through finite element analysis, the study compares the performance of implants with and without a stem under various bone conditions, revealing that the stem significantly benefits bones with diminished structural properties.
- The findings conclude that healthy bones do not require a tibial extension, while those with weakened properties do need it for better stability and longevity of the implant.
