How accurate is anatomic limb alignment in predicting mechanical limb alignment after total knee arthroplasty?
BACKGROUND Anatomic limb alignment often differs from mechanical limb alignment after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We sought to assess the accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity for each of three commonly used ranges for anatomic limb alignment (3-9°, 5-10° and 2-10°) in predicting an acceptable range (neutral ± 3°) for mechanical limb alignment after TKA. We also assessed whether the accurac...
متن کاملChange in Limb Length After Total Knee Arthroplasty
The clinical outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains suboptimal in some patients. One of the factors that might hinder improved functionality may be postoperative limb length discrepancy due to increase in limb length of the operative limb. The objective of this cross-sectional prospective study was to examine the extent to which limb length change occurs after TKA and to compare the c...

متن کاملCoronal alignment after total knee arthroplasty
Recent studies have challenged the long-held notion that neutral mechanical alignment after total knee arthroplasty leads to optimal function and survivorship.The ideal alignment for function and survivorship may actually be different.Kinematic alignment, where components are implanted to re-create the natural flexion/extension axis of the knee, may lead to improved functional results.Residual ...
متن کاملEasy Identification of Mechanical Axis during Total Knee Arthroplasty
PURPOSE We devised an intraoperatively identifiable mechanical axis (IIMA) as a reference of alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS Between February 2010 and January 2011, primary TKAs were consecutively performed on 672 patients (1007 knees) using an IIMA as a reference in the coronal plane. RESULTS The alignment of the lower extremity improved from a mean of 11....
