The femoral anterior tangent line could serve as a reliable alternative reference axis for distal femoral rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty: an MRI-based study

BackgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the reference value of the femoral anterior tangent (FAT) line as a guidance of distal femoral rotation on magnetic resonance images (MRI).MethodsWe retrospectively included 81 patients (106 knees) diagnosed as ailing from primary knee osteoarthritis. The indir...
