Influence of positioning of prosthesis in total knee replacement
PA Lotke and ML Ecker
The early clinical results of geometric total knee arthroplasty were
compared with the position of the prosthetic device by a roentgenographic
score system. It was noted that there is a statistically significant
positive correlation between a good clinical result and a well positioned
prosthesis. In addition, it was appreciated that perfect positioning of the
device was difficult to obtain. We believe that the long-term clinical
results, wear resistance, and resistance to prosthetic failure depend on
correct positioning of the devices.
