Self-made distal femoral extramedullary positioning osteotomy template in total knee arthroplasty
Abstract] Objective To investigate the accuracy and feasibility of using a homemade distal femoral extramedullary positioning osteotomy template to position the distal femur for total knee replacement during initial total knee arthroplasty.
Methods From September 2019 to February 2021, 35 consecutive cases of advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis (extramedullary positioning group), 10 males and 25 females, aged 56 ̴80years, average (69.09±5.70years), underwent total knee replacement with distal femoral osteotomy using a homemade extramedullary positioning template.
35 consecutive cases of advanced osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis with total knee replacement by distal femoral osteotomy with conventional intramedullary localization (intramedullary localization group), 9males and 26 females; age 55 ̴79 years, mean (67.17±5.38) years.
