Background: Preoperative templating is the gold standard in planning elective total knee arthroplasty. This retrospective study analyses preoperative templating by using two different calibration devices.
Methods: Preoperative radiographic templating with TraumaCad using two different calibration devices was performed in 231 patients.
Results: Overall, 60.6% (n = 140) did not match and 39.4% (n = 91) matched for tibial as well as femoral size. Group I showed significantly more combined matches as well as for just the size of the femoral component.
Conclusions: In this study, the KingMark calibration should be preferred to standardised ball markers.
