Tibial sagittal and rotational alignment reduce patellofemoral stresses in posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty

Abstract Patellofemoral joint complications remain an important issue in total knee arthroplasty. We compared the patellofemoral contact status between cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized designs with varying degrees of tibial sagittal and rotational alignment using a computer simulation to...
