The effect of alignment and BMI on failure of total knee replacement. (2011, methodology): “The present study sought to address four issues: (1) What is the optimal range of postoperative tibial alignment, femoral alignment, and overall anatomic limb alignment in the coronal plane that results in the best prosthesis survival rate? (2) If the component that is implanted first is improperly ”
Coronal alignment in total knee arthroplasty: just how important is it? (2009, methodology): “Although the association between tibial collapse and varus tibial alignment observed by Berend et al [7] was confirmed in this study, varus tibial alignment alone did not explain any additional failure beyond that of overall alignment.”
