QID 219508 (Type "219508" in App Search)
A surgeon develops a resection plan with a robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty system which calls for an 8mm cut of the medial posterior femoral condyle. After completing the femoral resection the surgeon measures the medial posterior femoral condyle and discovers 13mm of posterior femur was removed. A similar error occurs on the lateral side despite using appropriate landmarks duing the registration process. If the surgeon does not address this unexpected increase in the flexion gap, what symptoms will the patient most likely develop post-operatively?
