Moreover, questions remain regarding appropriate soft tissue conditions needed to improve clinical results. Extensive anatomical, clinical, and biomechanical studies have enabled more accurate evaluation of soft tissue conditions, and we are getting closer to achieving “appropriate soft tissue balancing” based on clinical evidence. This book provides an excellent summary of the current knowledge regarding soft tissue balancing in total knee arthroplasty, focusing on p
