Are asymmetric tibial baseplates superior in primary total knee arthroplasty? A systematic review of clinical studies

Background: Despite the asymmetric nature of the native tibial condyles, traditional primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has overwhelmingly employed the use of symmetric tibial baseplates. However, designs exist utilizing an asymmetric tibial baseplate that mimics normal tibial anatomy. The purpose of this review was to assess the functional and radiographic outcomes of asymmetric tibial base plates. Methods: Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of …
