The anatomy of flexion Many activities of daily living require flexion beyond 120 degrees. Consider climbing stairs (75-140 degrees), sitting in a chair and standing up again (90-130 degrees), or squatting (130-150 degrees).1 The typical pattern of femoral rollback is increased in deep flexion, as the lateral femoral condyle moves even further posteriorly, increasing the amount of rotation. Also, the patella clears the femoral groove completely, contacting only the femoral condyles.2
