Consistently high accuracy of digital 2D templating in total knee arthroplasty across different levels of surgical training
2D digital templating for primary TKA demonstrated high accuracy, with reliable prediction within a ± 1 size range and no significant influence of surgical training level. These findings support its continued clinical use and confirm that templating can be reliably performed by residents at all stages of training. Video Abstract LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, diagnostic study.
