`Fig. 26-5. The extension gap must
`exactly equal the flexion gap.
`
`
`
`Fig. 26—6. The flexion gap is created first removing bone
`from the tibial plateaus and posterior femoral condyles.
`
`“Gap” Technique
`
`The gap techniqtie'“*‘9’“ is used in conjunction with
`cruciate-substituting prostheses and some cruciate»
`retaining devices (often accompanied by posterior eru-
`ciate release from the posterior tibia). Ligament releases
`(see below) are performed to correct fixed deformity,
`bringing the limb into approximate alignment before the
`bone cuts are made (Fig. 2695).
`
`The Flexion Gap
`
`To create a flexion gap, an osteotomy of the proximal
`tibia is performed about 5 mm below the most normal
`area ofthe articular surface and directed at right angles to
`the long axis of the tibial shaft in both anteroposterior
`and mediolateral planes (Figs. 26-6 and 26-7). The
`anteroposterior diameter of the femur is measured from
`the anterior cortical surface, and the appropriate femoral
`template is selected: When the measurement falls be
`tween template sizes the smaller is generally preferred.
`The posterior femoral condyles are resected.

`
`Fig. 26-7. The correct cut on the
`tibia ignores defects and removes 5 to
`7 mm from the normal side out at
`right angles to the long axis in the cor-
`onal plane (A), and sloped posteriorly
`up to 5 degrees in the sagittal plane
`
`(3).
