Imageless Computer Navigation in Total Knee Arthroplasty—The Pitfalls

Correct implant positioning and mechanical alignment are crucial for long-term survival of the total knee prosthesis. Imageless navigation can improve the femoral and tibial component position in the sagittal and coronal planes, as well as the overall lower limb mechanical axis. However, there are p...
