Given that LSS manifests heterogeneously in location and severity, its influence on knee replacement merits a radiographically targeted analysis. We hypothesize that patients with more severe LSS will have diminished knee mobility before and after TKA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective case series assessed all TKAs performed at our institution for primary osteoarthritis from 2017\u20132020. Preoperative lumbar magnetic resonance image (MRI) with no prior lumbar spine surgery was necessary for inclusion. Stenosis severity was demonstrated by (1) anterior\u2013posterior (AP) diameter of the thecal sac and (2) morphological grade. TKA outcomes in 103 cases (94 patients) were assessed by measuring preoperative and postoperative arc of motion (AOM), postoperative flexion contracture, and need for manipulation under anesthesia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Patients with mild stenosis did significantly better in terms of postoperative knee AOM. As AP diameter decreased at levels L1\u20132, L2\u20133, L3\u20134, and L4\u20135, there was a significant reduction in preoperative-AOM (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for each), with a 16 degree decrease when using patients\u2019 most stenotic level (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
