Abstract

Total knee arthroplasty has become one of the most successful procedures in orthopedic practice since its introduction in the early 1970s [1, 2]. Since its development, it has undergone many refinements, leading to good 10–15 year follow-up studies [3–5]. Correct component alignment and soft-tissue balancing have been cited as two of the most important components of successful knee-arthroplasty surgery [6, 7]. Alignment of the components is dependent on many factors including accurate pre-operative planning, normal bone morphology to which standardized instruments are applied and accurate placement of these instruments with the surgeons skill. Incorrect alignment caused by a variation of any of these factors can lead to abnormal wear [8, 9], premature mechanical loosening of the components [10, 11], and patellofemoral problems [12, 13].
