Total diz artroplastisi yaklaşımlarının komponent yerleşimine etkisi

Abstract

ÖzPurpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of subvastus and medial parapatellar total knee arthroplasty approaches on component positioning and to explore the possible negative effects of potentially more restrictive approaches especially in highly deformed knees. Materials and Methods: 88 knees of 84 patients (46 knees operated with medial parapatellar approach (group 1), and 46 knees operated with subvastus approach (group 2)) who had undergone total knee arthroplasty. The patients were also regrouped according to their preoperative mechanical axis deviations. Postoperative femoral and tibial component positioning on frontal and sagittal planes were evaluated.
