Computer-Assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty vs. Conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty: Post-Operative Ankle Radiographic Findings and Ankle Clinical Assessment.

Background: A number of previous studies have shown that conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can affect talar tilt (TT) in the ankle of the operated leg. We aimed to prevent this problem by utilizing computer-assisted Total Knee Arthroplasty (CAS-TKA).

Objective: To compare pre- and post-operative talar tilt and ankle clinical assessment after computer-assisted total knee arthroplasty (CAS-TKA) and conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the 56 knees of 28 patients who underwent bilateral TKA.
