Abstract

Total knee replacement (TKR) is one of the most commonly performed surgical intervention providing substantial relief from pain and improvement in functional disability in patients with knee arthritis [1]. Although the survival of primary TKR s is excellent with 95% of survival at 10 years for most implants [2], approximately 20% of those who undergo TKR are not satisfied with the outcome at the end of one year assessment [3]. Restoration of knee alignment is one of the main determinants of successful outcomes after TKR [4]. Implant malalignment following primary TKA has been reported to be the primary reason for revision in 7% of revised TKR [5].
