BALANC-R™: A Balanced Resurfacing Framework for Total Knee Arthroplasty Planning & Execution

In this presentation, Dr. Joseph Gondusky introduces BALANC-R™ (Balanced Resurfacing), a structured framework for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) planning, execution, and documentation. The BALANC-R™ workflow combines the principles of knee resurfacing, soft tissue balance, and modern technology to create a practical, reproducible approach to total knee replacement. The framework is designed to help surgeons move beyond traditional alignment philosophies by incorporating patient-specific anatomy, coronal alignment, joint line restoration, soft tissue balance, and robotic-assisted surgical data. Topics covered include: • Why a new TKA framework is needed • The principles and axioms behind Balanced Resurfacing • Preoperative planning using LDFA, MPTA, slope, and alignment measurements • The role of soft tissue balance and medial stability throughout range of motion • How robotics and technology improve precision and reduce variability • Step-by-step BALANC-R™ workflow execution • Case examples demonstrating planning, balancing, and final outcomes • Recommendations for alignment targets and balancing strategies The BALANC-R™ Workflow serves as a preoperative planning tool, intraoperative execution guide, and research/documentation platform to help surgeons better understand what creates successful and reproducible TKA outcomes.
