Implication

Biomechanical study reveals femoral rotation fails to restore joint motion after knee arthroplasty, suggesting repositioning to improve patellar tracking risks abnormal tibiofemoral kinematics.

Key Points

To determine whether femoral component rotation can restore normal tibiofemoral and patellofemoral kinematics after total knee arthroplasty.
Evaluated the effect of isolated femoral component rotation on patellar tracking and tibial kinematics following total knee arthroplasty with a specific implant design.
Femoral component rotation alone failed to normalize all aspects of patellar tracking and tibial kinematics.
Adjusting femoral component position to correct patellar tracking carries a risk of inducing abnormal tibiofemoral kinematics.
