Stryker computer navigation system has been used for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures since October 2008 at the Russian Ilizarov Scientific Centre for Restorative Traumatology and Orthopaedics. There have been 126 computer assisted TKA that accounted for 11.5 % of primary TKA within this period (1096 procedures). Arthritis of the knee joints with evident pain syndrome was an indication to TKA surgery. Arthritis of the knee joint of 27 patients (21.4 %) was accompanied by femoral deformity of various etiology with debris found in the medullary canal in several cases. The rest 99 patients (78.6 %) were regular cases of primary TKA.Introduction
