Abstract

Role of MAKOplasty software in determining femoral neck version, distal-femoral resection angle, tibial axis difference, distal-femoral rotation, medial/lateral tibial slope, and tibial tubercle alignment has yet to be fully explored. Preoperative CT scans and plain films of 99 patients were obtained for each patient according to predetermined MAKO-protocol by four observers. Reliability analyses (Cronbach's Alpha-test) was performed to determine agreement between raters for angle measures. Anatomic measurements were similar to previously published literature, and cronbachs'alpha analysis demonstrated agreement amidst all observers. MAKOplasty software produces similar results to anatomic measurements in planning for TKA with good reproducibility.
