Purpose: Comparing the technology of CT guided jigs assisted surgery with conventional instrumentation system in restoring the mechanical axis in total knee arthroplasty.
Method: Randomized two groups of 10 patients each were operated by Conventional instrumentation and CT guided pre-designed patient specific jigs. Intra and postoperative blood loss, operative time and correction of mechanical axis was recorded and compared.
Results: Mean rotational femoral angle was 1.0° for cases group and 1.5° for the control group, difference was statistically significant. The difference in preoperative and postoperative HKA angles between case and control groups was found to be significant in both groups but more in cases group. The alignment of knee in cases was closer to ideal 6-degree.. Read More»
