Evaluating axial alignment and knee phenotypes in a young Indian population, using X-rays converted to three-dimensional bone models, and their relevance in total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The standard principle of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) targeted by most orthopaedicians is the alignment of the lower limb in a neutral mechanical axis. However, for several patients the neutral mechanical alignment is not normal. Aligning these patients to a neutral mechanical axis may not result in desirable outcomes as it may feel unnatural.
