The Impact of Coronal Plane Alignment on Polyethylene Wear and Damage in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrieval Study

Coronal plane alignment is one of the contributing factors to polyethylene wear in total knee arthroplasty. Based on 95 retrieved polyethylene inserts, wear and damage patterns were analyzed in relationship to the overall mechanical alignment and to the position of the tibial component. A progressio...
