<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Valgus deformity presents a major challenge in total knee replacement, especially in moderate or severe cases. Many surgical techniques have been described to balance<sup> </sup>the soft tissues in correction of a severe valgus deformity<sup> </sup>during total knee replacement. The structures most commonlyreleased in a valgus knee include the posterolateralaspect of the capsule, iliotibial band (IT band), the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), the popliteustendon, and the lateral head of the gastrocnemius muscle.</span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">thirty two patients undergoing unilateral total knee replacement were followed for the evaluation of study. There were 22 female (68%) and 10 males (32%) with an age of 62.7±6.9 years (range 50-75) with valgus deformity of 18.59˚±8.32˚ (range 10-40˚). Preoperative diagnosis was rheumatoid arthritis in 23 patients (72%) and osteoarthritis in 9 patients (28%). Posterior stabilizing cemented implants were used</span>.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Based on total knee score we achieved 21 (63.64%) excellent, 10 (31.82%) good and 1 (4%) fair results. With the total functional score we had 16 (50%) excellent, 15 (45.45%) good and 1 (4%) fair results. In patients with only step1 release (17 patients) we achieved 84% (15 pts) excellent, 8% (1 pt) good, 8% (1 pt) fair with knee score; and 67% (11pts) excellent, 33% (6pts) good with functional score. In step 2 release group (15 pt) we achieved 10% (1 pt) excellent, 90% (14 pts) good with knee score; and 10% (1pt) excellent, 80% (13 pts) good and 10% (1 pt) fair with functional score. </span></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Good to excellent results can be achieved with two step sequential lateral release of posterolateral capsule and IT band pie-crusting which has direct correlation with severity of valgus deformity. The safety, simplicity, and high success rate of the two step sequential lateral release of posterolateral capsule and pie-crusting of IT band justify its routine use to correct every valgus deformity in total knee replacement.</span></p>
