[ 1 ] - 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...

[ 2 ] - 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 ...
