Abstract

BACKGROUND: Knee kinematics during daily activities reflect disease severity preoperatively and are associated with clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is widely believed that measured kinematics would be useful for preoperative planning and postoperative assessment. Despite decades-long interest in measuring three-dimensional (3D) knee kinematics, no methods are available for routine, practical clinical examinations. We report a clinically practical method utilizing machine-learning-enhanced software and upgraded C-arm fluoroscopy for the accurate and time-efficient measurement of pre-TKA and post-TKA 3D dynamic knee kinematics.
