Abstract:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of increasing the tibial boundaries in functional alignment on femoral component orientation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).MethodsA retrospective review of a database of robotic‐assisted TKAs using a digital joint tensioning device was performed (BalanceBot®; Corin). A total of 692 TKAs with correctable deformity were included. Functional alignment with a tibia‐first balancing technique was simulated by performing an anatomic tibial resection… Show more
