Preoperative planned distance between the skin surface and the guide rod provides accurate posterior tibial slope in total knee arthroplasty
2019
Background
Although sagittal tibial alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is important, no landmark exists to achieve reproducible slope. It is theoretically demonstrated that the preoperative planned distance between the skin surface and the rod can be a useful guide for the tibial slope in the previous imaging study. We conducted this retrospective study to confirm whether the results of the study are repeatable in an intra-operative situation.
