- ABSTRACT
Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure used in patients with severely affected knee joints due to trauma, osteoarthritis and severe knee degeneration. Traditional knee implants are, however, available in fixed sizes, which are often not suitable for all patients, depending on their anatomical features. If the implant is not sized properly, it can be poorly positioned, lead to abnormal load distribution, implant loosening, discomfort and reduced functional ability after surgery. As a result, precise assessment of the dimensional characteristics of a patient’s knee is crucial for selecting implants and surgical outcomes. Customized knee implants based on individual anatomical measurements can be developed due to recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI), medical image processing, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction and additive manufacturing (AM).
