Combining different rotational alignment axes with navigation may reduce the need for lateral retinacular release in total knee arthroplasty

摘要

The aim of the study was to compare femoropatellar alignment and the incidence of lateral retinacular release (LRR) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in which the rotational alignment of the femoral component was determined using a combination of different rotational alignment axes and navigation or a single reference axis in the standard procedure.
