Correlation of Short Knee Radiographs and Full-length Radiographs in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty.
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The clinical success and longevity of a primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in large part depend on our ability to control coronal alignment. However, controversy exists regarding which radiographs to use for the most accurate interpretation. The study assesses the accuracy of coronal alignment measurements using a single short knee radiograph (SKR) in comparison with full-length radiographs (FLRs).
METHODS: Using our …
