From: A lateral approach defect closure technique with deep fascia flap for valgus knee TKA
a After TKA of valgus knee with lateral parapatellar approach, a lateral capsular defect in the midportion will be seen after proximal and distal capsular closure. b A deep fascia from the anterior patella and quadriceps tendon is dissected to form a flap. c The deep fascia flap is reversed for covering the lateral capsular defect. d Suturing the lateral capsule with 2–0 running absorbable suture. e The covering of the lateral capsular defect is examined
