Review Question - QID 219224

An early-career surgeon performs a total knee arthroplasty case utilizing a planned cruciate retaining implant design. Trial implants are placed, and the knee is found to be well-balanced in flexion. However, it appears to be tight in extension. The surgeon performs a posterior capsular release and accidentally causes an injury to the posterior cruciate ligament resulting in its functional incompetence. While the flexion and extension gaps are appropriately symmetric and balanced, the accompanying resident suggests converting to a posterior stabilized design implant. The surgeon, instead, proceeds with placing a cruciate retaining implant with a conforming polyethylene. What would be the expected outcome?
