The Trochlear Paradox in Native Knees and Its Potential Impact on Total Knee Arthroplasty: An MRI-Based Correlation Study Investigating the Effect of Varying Posterior Femoral Condyle Angles on the Patellofemoral Joint

The Trochlear Paradox in Native Knees and Its Potential Impact on Total Knee Arthroplasty: An MRI-Based Correlation Study Investigating the Effect of Varying Posterior Femoral Condyle Angles on the Patellofemoral Joint

Background: Since the beginning of total knee arthroplasty, implant alignment has been a central point of discussion. As diverse as the discussed alignment theories are, as uniform is the implant design, which is supposed to be based on the “average knee.” Steady upgrades in prosthesis design and mo...
