The constrained insert with non-stemmed tibial and femoral components can be used in the modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when soft-tissue balance and adequate stability from a posterior-stabilized (PS) insert cannot be achieved. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and predictive factors associated with the constrained insert use during primary TKA for varus deformity.
