A high rate of falls and traumatic fracture occur after extensor mechanism reconstruction: A cohort study including both allograft and synthetic mesh grafts
Objectives and questions: Extensor mechanism disruption (EMD) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) significantly impairs knee function and quality of life, often resulting in instability, extensor lag, and compromised gait mechanics. Extensor mechanism reconstruction (EMR) is performed to restore [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
