T 5.1 Ct Evaluation of Femoral Component Rotation in Tka: Comparison of Tibial Axis Method to Transepicondylar Line
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: Accepted landmarks for determining femoral component rotation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include the posterior condyles, Whiteside’s line, arbitrary three to four degrees of external rotation, and transepicondylar axis (TEA). All methods require anatomical identification, which may be variable. The purpose of this study was to radiologically evaluate femoral component rotation (CT analysis) based on a method that references to the tibial shaft axis and balanced flexion tension without identification of femoral anatomical landmarks.

Evaluation of Distal Femoral Rotational Alignment with Spiral CT Scan before Total Knee Arthroplasty (A Study in Iranian Population)
Background: Evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative CT scanning. The purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational ...

PURPOSE We attempted to determine the degree of rotation of the femoral component to achieve an ideal rectangular flexion gap with minimal medial collateral ligament (MCL) release using a modified measured technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS Group I consisted of 60 osteoarthritis patients (72 cases) who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with minimal MCL release and Group II consisted of 48...
متن کاملA simple method for accurate rotational positioning of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty
Background and purpose - There are many techniques for placing the femoral component in correct rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but only a few have been tested against the supposed gold standard, rotation determined by postoperative computed tomography (CT). We evaluated the accuracy and variability of a new method, the clinical rotational axis (CRA) method, and assessed ...
متن کاملA computer-assisted, tibia-first technique for improved femoral component rotation in total knee arthroplasty
Background The use of navigation for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) improves limb alignment in the coronal and sagittal planes. However, similar improvements in femoral and tibial component rotation have not yet been realized using currently available systems. Methods We developed a modified navigated TKA technique in which femoral rotation was set using the resected tibial plane as the refere...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of rotational alignment of the femoral and patellar components on patellar tilt after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 56 patients (76 knees) who underwent TKA using Advance Medial Pivot Knee system between May 2009 and April 2011 and were available for minimum 1-year follow-up were enrolled in this ...
