The main aim and scope is making measurement and comparison about the femoral component posterior offset under different femoral component implanting flexion angle in cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty. The results may identify the influence of the flexion component implanting flexion angle on the femoral component posterior offset.

The surgeries were performed under general anesthesia. The medial parepatellar incision was introduced during the TKA. The femoral component size was selected according to the intro-operative measurement. The osteotomy was done according to the intramedullary guide and the cutting guide. After the proximal tibial osteotomy was finished, the cruciate-retaining Total Knee System was used. The lateral rotation of the femoral component was determined by the gap-balancing technique.
Posterior Femoral Offset
The posterior femoral offset was defined as the maximal thickness of the posterior condyle projecting posteriorly to a straight line drawn as the extension of the posterior femoral shaft cortex on the medial-lateral position of the X-ray examination.
Time frame: 1 week after the surgery
Posterior Femoral Offset Ratio
The posterior femoral offset ratio was defined as the maximal thickness of the posterior condyle projecting posteriorly to a straight line drawn as the extension of the posterior femoral shaft cortex, divided by the maximal thickness of the posterior condyle projecting posterior to a straight line drawn as the extension of the anterior femoral shaft contex on the medial-lateral position of the X-ray examination.
Time frame: 1 week after the surgery
