abstract

conclusions our findings may be applied by manufacturers to design prostheses more compatible with asian populations. alterations to the shape of components should be considered to provide optimal coverage. patients and methods during 2013, 150 consecutive patients (96 males and 54 females) from the outpatient department of orthopedic surgery of rasoul akram hospital with knee ct scans were studied. we entered cases with apparent normal extremity alignment and bone maturity. exclusion criteria were history of fracture or conditions affecting knee profile. standard cuts were simulated on the ct scan using the marco pacs program. for each bone, anteroposterior (ap), mediolateral (ml), and aspect ratio (ml/ap) were measured. values were compared with the sizing of four currently available prostheses. background maintaining proper size and rotation of components of total knee arthroplasty is mandatory for optimal longevity. ethnical differences may affect the fitness of prostheses that were manufactured mainly based on caucasian dimensions. results the mean age of the patients was 43 years (range: 17 to 80). all isolated parameters were higher in men significantly (p < 0.001). however, the aspect ratio did not show any significant difference (1.51 ± 0.11 vs 1.46 ± 0.1), suggestive of a similar configuration of distal femur profiles between genders. ultimately, close correlations were observed among simulated cuts and size-matched femoral components of the prostheses. for females, however, components were mostly overhang mediolaterally except for one gender-specific subset. decrement in the aspect ratio for larger knees was another mismatch with current prostheses that preserve an almost constant ratio throughout all sizes. objectives to evaluate the distal femur morphology of the iranian population at the level of standard cuts simulated via computed tomography.

Morphology of proximal tibia in Iranian population and its corre-lation with available prostheses

  Background: Total knee arthroplasty is a complex procedure aiming to relieve pain and improve function. It is critical to select prosthesis that best cover the bone surfaces. Ethnicity may affect fitness of the components mainly designed for Caucasian populations. This study aimed to evaluate morphometric features of proximal tibia in Iranian population.   Methods : During 2013, 150 consecuti...

Anthropometric Measurements of Distal Femur to Design the Femoral Component of Total Knee Arthroplasty for the Iranian Population

Background: Acquiring knowledge about anatomic and geometric quantities of bones is among the most vitalparameters in orthopedic surgery that has a significant effect on the treatment of various disorders and subsequentoutcomes. The aim of this study was to obtain anthropometric information for distal femur in order to compare withsimilar dimensions of prosthesis used in total...

Computed Tomographic measurement of distal femor rotation in Iranian population

  Background: Proper rotation of components in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) will largely affect the postoperative outcome. Ethnical variation may affect rotational profile. We aimed to evaluate distal femur rotation in Iranian population using transepicondylar axes.   Methods : From a total of 450 knee CT scans and via consecutive sampling, 150 qualified subjects with normal lower extremities ...
