Implant Migration Over One Year of Shape Match-Derived Kinematic Alignment Versus Conventional Alignment Using Computer Navigation for Total Knee Arthroplasty in a Randomized Trial
38 patients were randomized to undergo cruciate-retaining, cemented total knee arthroplasty with either patient-specific cutting blocks, or computer navigation.
