How much tibial resection is required in total knee arthroplasty?

The purpose of our study was to calculate the optimal tibial resection depth in total knee arthroplasty. The data from 464 navigated total knee arthroplasties were analysed. An implant with a minimum insert thickness of 8 mm was used. Data regarding leg axis, joint line, insert thickness and tibial...

Zusammenfassung:The purpose of our study was to calculate the optimal tibial resection depth in total knee arthroplasty. The data from 464 navigated total knee arthroplasties were analysed. An implant with a minimum insert thickness of 8 mm was used. Data regarding leg axis, joint line, insert thickness and tibial resection depth were recorded by the navigation device. An algorithm was developed to calculate the optimal tibial resection depth. The required tibial resection significantly correlates with the preoperative leg axis ( p
