Introduction

The KneeAlign2 (OrthAlign, Inc., Aliso Viejo, CA) is a portable accelerometer-based navigation device for use in performing the distal femoral resection in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This device works as a computer-assisted surgical system. It does not require the use of a large console for registration and alignment feedback.(image1,2)

Purpose

The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy in positioning the femoral component and the presense of a learning curve in conducting TKA using this device.

Introduction

There have been many attempts to reduce the risk of femoral component loosening.

Using a tapered stem having a highly polished stem surface results in stem stabilization subsequent to debonding and stem-cement taper-lock and is consistent with force-closed fixation design.

Purpose

In this study, we assessed the subsidence of two different polished triple tapered stems and two different cements in primary THA.
