Abstract
The landmarks used to achieve correct rotational alignment of the femoral component in total knee arthroplasty may be indistinguishable or unreliable in the distal architecture of a valgus knee. Five observers identified the anteroposterior axis, the posterior condylar axis, and the transepiKeywords
