Rotation of intramedullary alignment rods affects distal femoral cutting plane in total knee arthroplasty.

Purpose: Intramedullary rods are widely used to align the distal femoral cut in total knee arthroplasty. We hypothesised that both coronal (varus/valgus) and sagittal (extension/flexion) cutting plane are affected by rotational changes of intramedullary femoral alignment guides.Methods: Distal femor...
