Abstract:Aims and Objectives:Correct implant alignment is a well known factor for good functional results and increased implant survival after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, in present studies only coronal, sagittal and rotational alignment parameters have been considered, while translational parameters, the relative position between the femur and the tibia in medio-lateral, ventro-dorsal and proximo-distal direction are widely neglected. Due to variable mediolateral, proximodistal and ventrodorsal component p… Show more
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.
