Modern computerized knee navigation systems aid surgeons both in the conventional
and in the minimally invasive approach to optimize mechanical and rotational alignments
of the components in all three planes to avoid any malrotation and/or any errors in
coronal, sagittal, and axial alignments. The advantages of minimally invasive total
knee arthroplasty can be achieved without loss of accuracy. There is increasing evidence
of a positive correlation between accurate mechanical alignment after total knee arthroplasty
and functional as well as quality-of-life patient outcomes.
