Abstract
Sis. In addition, it was appreciated that perfect positioning of the device was difficult to obtain. We believe that the long-term clinical results, wear resistance, and resistance to prosthetic failure depend on correct positioning of the devices. The early clinical results of geometric total knee arthroplasty were compared with the position of the prosthetic device by a roentgenographic score system. It was noted that there is a statistically significant positive correlation between a good clinical result and a well positioned prosthesis. In addition, it was appreciated that perfect positioning of the device was difficult to obtain. We believe that the long-term clinical results, wear resistance, and resistance to prosthetic failure depend on correct positioning of the devices.
