Alignment of Total Knee Components Using Standard or Custom Instrumentation
Alignment of Total Knee Components Using Standard or Custom Instrumentation
The hypothesis of this study is that total knee alignment will be improved by preoperative planning from CT scans and the production of custom instruments compared to the use of standard instruments.
Patients will be randomized to have either customized knee instruments or standard generic instrumentation for primary total knee replacement. Postoperative CT scan will be used to determine alignment of each group.
Inclusion Criteria:patients undergoing primary total knee replacement -
Exclusion Criteria:patients who have hardware involving the hip, knee or ankle
