Anthropometric Measurements of Distal Femur to Design the Femoral Component of Total Knee Arthroplasty for the Iranian Population

摘要

Acquiring knowledge about anatomic and geometric quantities of bones is among the most vital parameters in orthopedic surgery that has a significant effect on the treatment of various disorders and subsequent outcomes. The aim of this study was to obtain anthropometric information for distal femur in order to compare with similar dimensions of prosthesis used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery and to design more suitable and optimal components.
