The alignment of components in total hiparthroplasty

Abstract

The alignment of components is one of the most important topics in total knee arthroplasty. The resections should be performed according to anatomical landmarks, such as the epicondylar line, the anterior-posterior axis and the tibial tubercle. Some important anatomical properties of the human knee joint and their significance for surgical technique are described.
