Femoral component rotation and arthrofibrosis following mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty

Femoral component rotation and Laurin angle after total knee arthroplasty.

One of the main problems after total knee arthroplasty is pain in the patellofemoral joint, which in some cases leads to revision surgery. Rotation of the femoral component has a significant influence on the path followed by the patella within the patellofemoral joint. We examined the influence of rotation of the femoral component after total knee arthroplasty on patellar tilt. We retrospective...

The Effect of Sagittal Femoral Bowing on the Femoral Component Position in Total Knee Arthroplasty

Background: In the current study, we investigated that how sagittal femoral bowing can affect the sagittal alignment ofthe femoral component in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods: There were 25 patients underwent TKA. Long leg radiography in lateral view was performed. The sagittalfemoral bowing (SFB) and component alignment in relation to the sagittal mechanical axis and distal anterior cor...

Tibial component rotation in total knee arthroplasty

BACKGROUND Both the range of motion (ROM) technique and the tibial tubercle landmark (TTL) technique are frequently used to align the tibial component into proper rotational position during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of the study was to assess the intra-operative differences in tibial rotation position during computer-navigated primary TKA using either the TTL or ROM techniques. The...
