Abstract:
0.05). Conclusion Compared with the Whiteside′s line, the transepicondylar axis seems to be more reliable to determine the rotational alignment of femoral component in total knee arthroplasty. The posterior femoral condylar angle of the Chinese people is larger than that of the Caucasians. If the widely used way of 3? lateral rotational orientation of the femoral component referring to the posterior condylar surfaces of the femur in total knee arthroplasty is adopted, it tends to produce internal malrotation of the femoral prosthesis after operation.
