Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Computer-navigated lower limb arthroplasty is a topical issue. Computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty using a computed tomography–free navigation system leads to improved mechanical limb alignment compared to conventional techniques. Ninety-six percent of patients in the computer-assisted group had postoperative limb mechanical axis within three degrees of the neutral axis compared with 78% in the conventional group. Coronal femoral component alignment was improved in the computer-assisted group (2.1 degrees vs. 1.5 degrees, p < 0.01). Overall, the computer-assisted technique led to more accurate and more reliable limb alignment and component position compared to conventional techniques.
