Figure 1. Experimental set-up. The two reference arrays are rigidly attached to the femur and the tibia.
Figure 2. Subperiosteal release of the tibial attachment of the semimembranosus with the trial components and the tibial navigation reference array (*) in situ, and pincette (+).
Figure 3. Subperiosteal release of the anteriomedial tibial sleeve 4 cm below the joint line with trail components in situ and tibial navigation reference array (*) in situ, and surgical hook (+).
