Tibial component rotation around the transverse axis measured by radiostereometry predicts aseptic loosening better than maximal total point motion: A follow-up of 116 total knee arthroplasties after at least 15 years

Background and purpose — Maximal total point motion (MTPM) measured by radiostereometry (RSA) is widely used as a predictor of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) loosening. We compared the ability of different RSA measurements at different time points to predict loosening of tibial TKA components in the...
