Purpose There is no present consensus on the most reliable anatomical landmarks or axes
for tibial rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The goal was therefore to …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to define various anteroposterior axes of the tibial
component as references and to evaluate their accuracy and variability using virtual surgery …

Importance Use of the surgical transepicondylar axis (sTEA) is the gold standard when
rotationally aligning components for total knee arthroplasty. Understanding how the tibial …

Introduction The most commonly used tool for implant positioning are conventional
instruments (CI) followed by computer-assisted surgery (CAS). A number of studies have …

Surgeon-dependent factors such as optimal implant alignment of the tibial component are
thought to play a significant role in the outcome following primary total knee arthroplasty …

Background: Jumper's knee is a type of tendinopathy affecting the distal insertion of the
quadriceps tendon (25% of cases) or the patellar tendon. It has been shown that frontal …

Background Consensus on tibial rotation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains
controversial. The present study aimed to investigate the closest anatomical reference to …

Introduction Tibial component design and positioning contribute more to patient satisfaction
than previously realized. A surgeon needs to decide on the size and rotation, bearing in …

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 …

AIMS: The popliteus musculotendinous unit plays the major role in range of motion, rotation
and stabilization of the knee. Frequent repetition of the rotational strains such as turnout in …
