Curve-on-curve technique is more reliable than free-floating technique for tibial components positioning in posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty using symmetrical tibial components in varus osteoarthritis
The tibial components placed using the anterior referencing technique (Curve-on-curve technique) are more externally rotated as compared to those placed using the self-alignment technique (free-floating technique) in posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasties using symmetrical tibial components.
