Lateral deviation of the prosthetic trochlear angle relative to the quadriceps vector in mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty: a radiological and clinical analysis
Prosthetic trochlear angle exhibits a lateral deviation from the native quadriceps vector in total knee arthroplasty patients operated with a mechanical alignment strategy. This deviation is only associated with the final HKA angle, but not with poorer outcomes.
