Fig. 5

Posterior capsular release using a curved osteotome. The left figure shows the attachment site of the posterior capsule at the intercondylar fossa of a femur. The middle figure shows posterior capsular release at the intercondylar fossa. The posterior capsule was completely detached from the posterior femoral cortex. A spreader was used to create adequate space to perform posterior capsular release. The right figure shows the attachment site of the posterior capsule at the intercondylar fossa after capsular release
