Extramedullary or intramedullary tibial alignment guides: a randomised, prospective trial of radiological alignment.
We undertook a prospective, randomised study of 135 total knee arthroplasties to determine the most accurate and reliable technique for alignment of the tibial prosthesis. Tibial resection was guided by either intramedullary or extramedullary alignment jigs. Of the 135 knees, standardised postoperative radiographs suitable for assessment were available in 100. Correct tibial alignment was found...
متن کاملExtramedullary versus intramedullary tibial cutting guides in megaprosthetic total knee replacement
BACKGROUND In a standard total knee replacement, tibial component alignment is a key factor for the long term success of the surgery. The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of extramedullary and intramedullary tibial cutting guides used in indigenous and imported implants respectively, in positioning of the tibial components in megaprosthetic knee replacements. METHODS A compara...
متن کاملAlignment of the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty procedures using an intramedullary or extramedullary guide: double-blind randomized prospective study☆
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the results obtained through using an intramedullary or extramedullary guide for sectioning the tibia in total knee arthroplasty procedures, with a view to identifying the accuracy of these guides and whether one might be superior to the other. METHODS This was a randomized double-blind prospective study on 41 total knee arthroplasty procedures performed between August ...
متن کاملTotal Ankle Arthroplasty Comparison of Extramedullary Versus Intramedullary Referencing for Tibial Component Alignment in
Background: The majority of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) systems use extramedullary alignment guides for tibial component placement. However, at least 1 system offers intramedullary referencing. In total knee arthroplasty, studies suggest that tibial component placement is more accurate with intramedullary referencing. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of extramedullary re...
متن کاملIntramedullary versus extramedullary alignment of the tibial component in the Triathlon knee
BACKGROUND Long term survivorship in total knee arthroplasty is significantly dependant on prosthesis alignment. Our aim was determine which alignment guide was more accurate in positioning of the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty. We also aimed to assess whether there was any difference in short term patient outcome. METHOD A comparison of intramedullary versus extramedullary align...
