A novel technology for 3D knee prosthesis planning and treatment evaluation using 2D X-ray radiographs: a clinical evaluation.

Purpose:  To present a clinical validation of a novel technology called "3X" which allows for 3D prosthesis planning and treatment evaluation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using only 2D X-ray radiographs.

Materials And Methods:  After local institution review board approvals, 3X was evaluated on 43 cases (23 for preoperative planning and 20 for postoperative treatment evaluation). All the patients underwent CT scans according to a standard protocol.
