In this study, with our technique of filtering out projection-related imaging errors, computer-assisted implantation of total knee replacements improved the frontal and sagittal alignment of the femoral component but not of the tibial component. We found that the rotational alignment of the component was not improved through navigation by solely referencing to the epicondylar axis for the femur and the tuberosity for the tibia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
