The posterior cortical axis as an alternative reference for femoral component placement in total knee arthroplasty
Abstract Background Although several reference axes have been established for determining femoral rotational alignment during total knee arthroplasty (TKA), the most accurate axis is undetermined. This study determines the relationship between the posterior cortical axis (PCA) and the trochlear ante...
