Approximating the maximum tibial coverage in total knee arthroplasty does not necessarily result in implant malrotation

Abstract Traditionally, the practice of the tibial component placement in total knee arthroplasty has focused on achieving maximum coverage without malrotation. However, the concept of maximizing coverage has not been well defined or researched and yet biased results are often produced. This study a...
