Pre-arthritic coronal plane alignment predicted by the arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle (aHKA) and the Flexion Extension Balancing Algorithm (FEBA) for Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)
There is a high correlation between the proposed pre-arthritic knee alignments when comparing the FEBA and arithmetic HKA methods. The pre-arthritic alignment of the knee is difficult to know with certainty. The use of both calculation methods will deliver a potential target zone for TKA knee alignment that makes use of all residual anatomy.
