- Discussion:
- remove any accumulation of osteophytes in posterior recesses with an osteotome or rongeur;
- pass a curved osteotome around each of posteior condyles, removing any overhanging bone or osteophytes;
- if left unresected, this overhanging bone can impinge on tibial plastic, limiting flexion and causing wear of the plastic;
- consider need to strip posterior capsule
