Virtual cutting-based morphological differences in osteoarthritic and healthy knees: Implications for total knee arthroplasty prosthesis design
Knees with moderate-to-severe OA are significantly wider than healthy knees, and OA is a risk factor for increased tibial platform asymmetry. When refining the morphological parameters of TKA prostheses, the specific bony morphological characteristics of OA knees should be taken into account to reduce the potential risk of femoral or tibial component underhang and facilitate optimal balance between tibial component fit and rotational alignment.
