“…Several authors have demonstrated distal femoral morphological differences, with the female knee tending to be slightly narrower than the male knee for any given anteroposterior dimension [7,10]. However, there is substantial variability in these patterns [7,10], and there are more differences between races than between genders [11,14,[17][18][19][20].…”

“…The concepts of sexual dimorphism in humans and anatomic variations in various ethnic groups are well known and supported by anatomic and radiographic studies [6,[10][11][12]16]. In general, the distal femurs of females are not only smaller, but have different shapes with a narrower medial-lateral (ML) diameter for any given anteroposterior (AP) distance than in males [6,10,12].…”

Recent modifications in total knee prosthesis design theoretically better accommodate the anatomy of the female femur and thereby have the theoretical potential to improve clinical results in TKA by more accurately restoring femoral posterior condylar offset, reducing femoral notching, reducing femoral component flexion, and reducing component overhang. First, we radiographically evaluated whether a contemporary unisex prosthesis would accommodate female anatomy equally as well as male anatomy. Next, we radiographically evaluated female knees in which a gender-specific prosthesis was used. Preand postoperative radiographs of 122 knees (42 female unisex, 41 male unisex, 39 female gender-specific) were reviewed. In the unisex groups, there were no differences in femoral notching or femoral component flexion. Posterior femoral offset increased in both groups. However, femoral component overhang was worse in female knees (17%) than in male knees (0%). In the gender-specific female group, the incidence of component overhang was similar to that in the unisex female group. Unisex femoral components of this specific design do not equally match the native anatomy male and female knees. In some women, a compromise was required in sizing.

“…11 These complications are highlighted to raise surgeons' awareness, particularly in Asian women who have smaller anthropometrical measurements than their western counterparts. 12 A more pronounced anteroposterior bowing of femora is reported in Asian compared to Caucasian patients. 13 It is important to screen out such patients using preoperative long films in both the anteroposterior and lateral orientations.…”

The usual complications of total knee arthroplasty include thrombo-embolism, infection, and loosening. We report an unusual and potentially serious complication of an intramedullary guide lodging within the femoral canal during the procedure. Considering the risk of fracture and additional exposure, the guide was not removed and was cut in situ. The rest of the operation was completed successfully and the patient made an uneventfully recovery.
