Are We Subluxating Knees in Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Cadaveric Investigation

摘要

Background: In comparison to coronal, sagittal, and rotational alignment, translational alignment parameters have been widely neglected in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) so far. As there is a certain variable range of possible component placement in mediolateral, ventrodorsal, and proximodistal direction, we hypothesized that relative positions between the femoral and tibial bones are changed after TKA, resulting in a subluxation of knees.
