title: Posterior dislocation in total knee replacement: a price for deep flexion?
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Post-cam dislocation in TKA is a rare complication after posterior stabilized TKA.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Four cases of posterior dislocation of the tibia relative to the femur are described in one current posterior stabilized design.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Specific design features in one contemporary high flexion TKA design contribute to high dislocation rates.
