      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Randomization description: Patients will be allocated into 3 groups using a permuted balanced block randomization method with the size of blocks 3 and 6. Random sequence will be generated by an epidemiologist by running an online program in sealed envelope website (https://www.sealedenvelope.com/). Random chain concealment is done by opaque envelope method, Blinding description: The study is double-blind. The analysis is done by the analyst and outcome evaluator (two-blind) and the participant.  Analysts, evaluators and participants are not aware of the consequences of grouping. Surgery is performed by an assistant of orthopedist. Patients are followed up and variables are reviewed by the project resident.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: If they do not have iliotibial band stiffness, they will be included in the control group.Routine surgery will be performed. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Patients are evaluated for stiffness at the end of the operation.The first group of intervention that iliotibial band will be released duration surgery.All peripheral femoral tibia osteophytes should be removed before any soft tissue is released.In tibia, release can be done with osteotomy priority. In femoral part, it is done by sharp dissection. Intervention 3: Intervention group: Patients will be evaluated for stiffness at the end of the operation. second group of intervention that iliotibial band will not be released duration surgery.</i_freetext>
