Group I
EXPERIMENTALPrimary total knee replacement by pinless navigation and minimally invasive technique
Group II
ACTIVE COMPARATORPrimary total knee replacement by traditional jig and minimally invasive technique
Interventions
The varus/valgus, extension/flexion, thickness of distal cut of femur was determined and done by pinless navigation system. After cutting, the instant information of resection level can show on the display screen. If the alignment is satisfying, the anterior/posterior femoral cut, chamfer cut and box resection were done by conventional jig
The femoral alignment was determined by intramedullary guide. The femoral alignment jig was set to 5-7 degree valgus dependent on the preoperative radiograph. A bone plug is impacted into the entry hole of femoral medullary canal before prosthesis placement.
