Agreement in component size between preoperative measurement, navigation and final implant in total knee replacement

ConclusionsThe high level of agreement found in component sizes between radiographic measurement with digitized templates and navigation suggests that preoperative X-ray measurement is not needed when navigation is used for placement of implants during TKR.The translational potential of this articleComputer-assisted surgery may avoid preoperative measurement with templates in TKR.
