Review article: Patient-specific versus standard instrumentation for total knee arthroplasty.

Abstract

This meta-analysis reviewed 12 studies comparing patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) with standard instrumentation (SI) for total knee arthroplasty in terms of postoperative coronal alignment and operation time. There is no significant difference between PSI and SI in terms of hip-knee-ankle angle (overall coronal alignment or mechanical axis), tibial coronal alignment, and operation time.
