Aseptic loosening is associated with medial tilting and anterior translational migration of the tibial implant in mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty
Our study showed two statistically detectable migration trends associated with tibial component aseptic loosening. Although we were unable to assess in this study whether focusing on migration patterns in these directions provides greater predictive value than using Maximum Total Point Motion, the results suggest that certain migration mechanisms are more prevalent than others, which could motivate further research into the causes of such migration patterns.
