Evaluating distal femoral torsion and posterior condylar line reliability for adjusting femoral component rotation in TKA, Egyptian population radiographic study
Abstract:Background: Femoral component rotational alignment is critical for successful TKA. The primary study objective is to measure the preoperative distal femoral torsion (DFT) of an Egyptian patient's cohort using a seated posteroanterior (PA) knee radiograph. The secondary objectives are to check the intraoperative reliability of using the posterior condylar line (PCL) as a reference for rotation and to measure postoperative component rotation using the same radiographic technique. Methods: 100 arthritic knees, 22… Show more
