Self-aligned Technique for Tibial Component Placement in Total Knee Arthroplasty Lessening Rotational Malalignment in Measured Resection and Gap-Balancing Techniques.

Although the femoral component of the GB group had a greater degree of external rotation than that of the MR group, the use of a self-aligned technique for tibial component placement resulted in no significant difference in tibial rotational alignment or rotational mismatch. This technique helps align the tibial component with the femoral component and lessen the degree of rotational malalignment in both the MR and GB techniques.
