Purpose In contemporary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), most often, the goal is to align the
femoral component to the epicondylar axis (EA). The posterior condylar axis (PCA) is easier …

This MRI study explores the individual variation of the rotational axes of the distal femur, and
investigate the relationship of this variation with overall coronal alignment in the …

Background The rotational alignment of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) is regarded as being one of the critical factors associated with its long‐term success …

Proper femoral component rotation is crucial in successful total knee arthroplasty. Rotation
using anatomic landmarks has traditionally referenced the transepicondylar axis (TEA) …

Purpose Optimal rotational alignment of the femoral component is essential for total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). The femoral transepicondylar axis (TEA), Whiteside's line (WSL), and …

Purpose There is a lot of inter-individual variation in the rotational anatomy of the distal
femur. This study was set up to define the rotational anatomy of the distal femur in the osteo …

Purpose: This study aimed 1) to identify the rotational axis of the femur that provides a
balanced 90 flexion space in TKA, 2) to assess the changes in the flexion space in deep …

Background The coronal whole-leg radiograph is generally used for preoperative planning
in total knee arthroplasty. The distal femoral valgus angle (DFVA) is measured for distal …

Purpose Finding the anatomical landmarks used for correct femoral axial alignment can be
difficult. The posterior condylar line (PCL) is probably the easiest to find during surgery. The …

Background Femoral rotational asymmetry (FRA) is the difference in rotational alignment
between the trochlear groove and posterior condyles. We hypothesize that FRA increases …
