For 22 patients (the cast group), long leg cast immobilization was applied until postoperative week 5 and then a 0\u00b0 locking brace was worn until week 12. Full weight bearing was allowed immediately after operation. For the other 22 patients (the brace group), only a 0\u00b0 locking brace was applied until postoperative week 12 without cast immobilization. Range of motion (ROM), clinical scores, Telos device (Telos, Marburg, Germany) posterior stress radiographic assessment results and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) grades of both groups were analyzed preoperatively and at postoperative years 1 and 2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean preoperative side\u2010to\u2010side difference on Telos posterior stress radiographs was 11.3 \u00b1 2.5 mm in the cast group and 12.7 \u00b1 2.1 mm in the brace group, revealing no differences between the 2 groups (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0= .743), but postoperatively the mean difference measured 2.5 \u00b1 1.9 mm and 4.8 \u00b1 2.4 mm, respectively, showing a significantly smaller difference in the cast group (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0= .004); the improvement was 8.8 mm and 7.9 mm, respectively, and was statistically significant (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0= .021).
