Evaluation and validation of 2D biomechanical models of the knee for radiograph-based preoperative planning in total knee arthroplasty.

Thorough preoperative planning in total knee arthroplasty is essential to reduce implant failure by proper implant sizing and alignment. The "gold standard" in conventional preoperative planning is based on anterior-posterior long-leg radiographs. However, the coronal component alignment i...
