The presence of extra articular deformities either in the femur or the tibia with arthritis of the knee makes total knee arthroplasty (TKA) technically demanding. The purpose of this study is to report outcomes with Total Knee Arthroplasty in patients with arthritis of the knee associated with extra articular deformity by intraarticular resection and soft tissue balancing.
