Several studies have found a relationship between the rotational anatomy of the distal femur
and the overall coronal lower limb alignment in knees with osteoarthritis (OA). Less is known …

Individualized pre-operative assessment of the patterns of the lower extremity anatomy and
deformities in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty seems essential for a successful …

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a very successful procedure. The alignment in TKA has
been identified as being of importance to prevent early implant failure and patient …

Background We aimed at determining whether the coronal alignment of lower extremity was
related to rotational geometry of distal femur, femoral anteversion, and tibial torsion in …

Background Rotational alignment of the tibial component is important for long-term success
of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to compare five axes in normal and …

Predicted postoperative knee alignment was calculated when total knee arthroplasty was
performed after 1 of 3 different methods of tibia preparation in 30 osteoarthritic knees with …

Background Proper coronal alignment of the limb is of vital importance in the progression of
knee osteoarthritis even in the long-term survivorship of component after total knee …

Various techniques exist for establishing tibial rotational alignment during total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study is to establish the most precise and …

Background Correct rotational alignment of the femoral and tibial component is an important
factor for successful TKA. The transepicondylar axis is widely accepted as a reference for the …

Background Rotational mismatch between femoral and tibial components has been
recognized as a risk factor of unsuccessful total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but a main cause of …
