The purposes of this study were (1) to compare lower limb alignment measurements between radiographs and computer-assisted surgery and (2) to evaluate the discrepancy in lower limb alignment between computer-assisted surgery with a high tibial osteotomy protocol and computer-assisted surgery with a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) protocol in the same knee. Seventy-one TKAs were performed on patients with primary osteoarthritis using computer-assisted surgery. Preoperative lower limb alignment was… 
Difference between Mechanical Alignment in Navigation and Scanogram during Total Knee Arthroplasty
TLDR
Postoperative mechanical alignment values after total knee arthroplasty are lower on navigation than measured on standing full length hip to ankle scanogram, with no correlation between the mean Hip-Knee Ankle Axis and intraoperative mechanical axis.
A whole leg radiograph is not necessary for postoperative determination of the mechanical leg axis after total knee arthroplasty
TLDR
A preoperative WLR and a postoperative long AP knee standard radiograph are sufficient to determine the mechanical leg axis after TKR, particularly since they involve higher radiation exposure, are time-consuming, and are also prone to errors in the first postoperative weeks.
Do CAS measurements correlate with EOS 3D alignment measurements in primary TKA?
TLDR
Differences in alignment measurements between CAS measurements and pre- and postoperative EOS 3D are due mainly to the difference between weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing position and potential errors in validity and reliability of the CAS system.
Mechanical Alignment in Knee Replacement Homogenizes Postoperative Coronal Hip-Knee-Ankle Angle in Varus Knees: A Navigation-Based Study.
TLDR
It is proposed that an excellent dynamic HKA alignment is achieved not only at full extension within the range of 0 ± 3 degrees but also when this alignment is maintained at 30, 60, and 90’degrees.
Intra- and post-operative accuracy assessments of two different patient-specific instrumentation systems for total knee replacement
TLDR
Both PSI systems showed good alignments in the coronal plane in all stages, and for a few measurements, a better performance was observed in the MRI/X-ray-based system than in the CT- based system.
Effect of foot rotation on the mechanical axis and correlation between knee and whole leg radiographs
TLDR
Foot position of ER could show lessvarus alignment and the reverse could occur in the IR position, compared to the neutral foot position, and the severity of varus alignment could be underestimated in the local radiograph, compared with that of whole leg radiograph.
Measurement of lower limb alignment: there are within-person differences between weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing measurement modalities
TLDR
The clinical importance of this study lies in the finding that there are within-person differences between weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing measurement modalities, which has implications for preoperative planning, performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and clinical follow-up after TKA surgery using CAS navigation or patient-specific instrumentation.
Innovations in revision total knee arthroplasty
TLDR
This thesis focuses on new techniques in rTKA and is divided into three parts: options during rTka, alignment measurements and computer-assisted surgery (CAS).
Patient specific 3D finite element modelling, analysis and verification of dental implant navigation and insertion system
TLDR
This thesis shows the application of the navigation system to the insertion of long angled implants for posterior support of full-arch prostheses to allow surgical approaches which otherwise could be not pursued using traditional techniques.

Comparison of Standard Anteroposterior Knee and Hip-to-Ankle Radiographs in Determining the Lower Limb and Implant Alignment after Total Knee Arthroplasty
TLDR
The standard AP knee radiograph appears to be a valid alternative to the hip-to-ankle radiograph for determining knee coronal plane alignment in routine follow-up after total knee arthroplasty, however, the hip -to-anking radiograph alone provides accurate information on weight-bearing mechanical axis in patients with suspected lower limb malalignment.
Quantification of axial alignment of the lower extremity on conventional and digital total leg radiographs
TLDR
Computer-assisted angle measurement on digital total-leg radiographs represents a reliable method with no significant angle differences compared to conventional radiographic systems and offers a significantly lower evaluation time.
Influence of lower limb rotation in navigated alignment analysis: implications for high tibial osteotomies
TLDR
The effect of rotational leg movements on coronal plane alignment as determined by image-free navigation was evaluated and it was hypothesized that a linear relationship exists between rotation and angular measurements.
Alignment in total knee arthroplasty. A comparison of computer-assisted surgery with the conventional technique.
TLDR
Computer-assisted TKA gives a better correction of alignment of the leg and orientation of the components compared with the conventional technique, and potential benefits in the long-term outcome and functional improvement require further investigation.
Navigated intraoperative analysis of lower limb alignment
TLDR
Navigated intraoperative evaluation of the mechanical axis offers increased accuracy compared to conventional intraoperative analysis, and navigation provides continuous control not only of the Mechanical axis, but also of the sagittal and transverse plane.
Computer-assisted surgery versus manual total knee arthroplasty: a case-controlled study.
TLDR
The present study compared the clinical, patient-perceived functional, and radiographic results of manually performed total knee arthroplasty with the results obtained with use of computer-assisted surgery techniques and assessed the impact of extensive experience with computer- assisted surgery on the manual technique of an experienced total kneeArthroplasties surgeon.
Decreased accuracy of acetabular cup placement for imageless navigation in obese patients

TLDR
Imageless navigation can be performed with an error of approximately 3° at the anterior pelvic plane, however, accuracy was found to decrease in obese cases.
Navigation versus Radiographic Measurements in the Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy using Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS)
TLDR
There were significant correlations between the values measured with the navigation system and radiographs in an open wedge high tibial osteotomy using a navigation system that is reliable, predictable and controllable during surgery.
Normal axial alignment of the lower extremity and load-bearing distribution at the knee.
TLDR
Based on a series of 120 normal subjects of different gender and age, the geometry of the knee joint was analyzed using a full-length weight-bearing roentgenogram of the lower extremity to calculate the important anatomic and biomechanical factors.
