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 ...

background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the geometry of the distal femur and the proximal tibia in the osteoarthritic knee using 3d reconstructive ct scan imaging. methods: 449 patients with knee osteoarthritis were treated surgically in our center with patient-specific technology total knee arthroplasty. preoperatively, all the patients underwent a ct scan according to a standard prot...

  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 ...

PURPOSE To measure the angular relationships of distal femoral rotational axes in 100 normal Indian knees. METHODS 42 men and 8 women aged 26 to 40 (mean, 31) years, with 100 normal non-arthritic knees were recruited. Anatomic landmarks were measured using computed tomography. They included the posterior condylar axis, the transepicondylar axis, the anteroposterior axis (Whiteside's line), th...

Fourteen temporomandibular joints in seven dry skulls, representing the distribution of horizontal and vertical condylar axis inclinations of a larger population, were imaged with three tomographic projection techniques. Closest anterior and posterior joint spaces were measured on radiographs, and sectioned plaster casts were made from impressions of actual joint space, Individualized horizonta...

Objectives Despite the importance to use face-bow record for transferring maxillary cast to articulator some dentists use average points to avoid the time taken and ease of use. The location of incisal point could help to set the maxillary cast or denture in an appropriate position in mounting stage. This study was designed to determine the incisal point location in ante...
