Abstract

[Objective]To evaluate the initial effect of the computer-assisted total knee replacement system.[Method]The 24 computer-navigated knees in our department were involved,and were matched at ratio of 1∶3 by previous cases at sex,age and disease.All cases anteroposterior and lateral projection X-ray films were checked postoperatively.We compared ? and ? angles at anteroposterior films,? and ? angles ant lateral films of all involved cases[Result]Although there was no significant differences existing between two groups,we still observed the obvious reduce risk of malplacement both for femoral and tibial prosthesis,and improvement of mechanical alignment.[Conclusion]By using computer-navigated total knee replacement system during operating,the precise and repeatability could be ensured.
