Purpose Accurate rotational alignment of the femoral component is of vital importance for
successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Two anatomical references located on the anterior …

It is important to investigate anatomical differences of the femur and tibia three‐
dimensionally between varus and valgus knees to enhance surgical approaches and better …

Background Optimal rotational alignment of the femoral component is a common goal during
total knee arthroplasty. The posterior condylar axis (PCA) is thought to be the most …

Introduction: Correct rotational alignment of the femoral component is an important factor for
successful total knee arthroplasty. This study evaluated relationship between the …

Background Rotational alignment of prosthetic components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA)
is important to successful outcomes. Component malrotation is a known cause of revision …

Background and purpose—There are many techniques for placing the femoral component in
correct rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but only a few have been tested …

Purpose For coronal alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) most surgeons use the
patient's individual hip-knee shaft (HKS) angle (angle between the anatomical axis and the …

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate femoral and tibial as well as whole leg
coronal TKA alignment using 3D-reconstructed CTs and to assess the relationship of …

Objectives: To measure and compare the included angle between the surgical
transepicondylar axis (STEA) and the posterior condylar line (PCL) and the included angle …

The sulcus line (SL) is a three‐dimensional landmark that corrects for individual variation in
the coronal alignment of the trochlear groove in contrast to the traditional Whiteside's line …
