INTRODUCTION

One of the main goals of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is to restore an adequate range of motion. The posterior femoral offset (PFO) may have a significant influence on the final flexion angle after TKA. The purpose of the present study was to compare the conventional, radiologic measurement of the PFO before and after TKA to the intra-operative, navigated measurement of the antero-posterior femoral dimension before and after TKA implantation.

MATERIAL

100 consecutive cases referred for end-stage knee osteo-arthritis have been included. Inclusion criteria were the availability of pre-TKA and post-TKA lateral X-rays and a navigated TKA implantation. There was no exclusion criterion.
