In the knee, it commonly refers to balancing the tissues during knee surgery, especially total knee replacement. It can also describe non-surgical efforts to reduce uneven forces around the knee through rehabilitation strategies. The overall goal is a knee that tracks, bends, and straightens in a controlled and comfortable way."}
