Rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty
Rotational alignment is important for a good functional outcome and the longterm success of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Malalignment can cause patellofemoral complications such as subluxation, dislocation, and wear. Furthermore, abnormal internal or external rotational alignment is reportedly a c...
