Introduction
The use of computer navigation systems in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many authors have already documented satisfactory short- to mid-term results after using various types of software [1–3].
Bathis et al [4], as well as Decking et al [5] and Rosenberger et al [6], showed how the use of navigation systems can improve the accuracy of the femoral and tibial component placement when compared with the “traditional” techniques. Because a correct alignment of the components is one of the most important factors determining favorable long-term results of a TKA, this could lead to a higher longevity of the prosthesis.
