Symmetric versus asymmetric tibial components: A systematic review of comparative studies.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed procedure that significantly enhances patients' quality of life by reducing pain and improving daily function. While the traditional tibial plate design used in TKA has been symmetrical, there has been a recent trend towards using asymmetrical designs. Our study aimed to compare symmetrical and asymmetrical tibial designs, focusing on outcomes related to overhang, malrotation, and tibial coverage.
