Abstract

BACKGROUND: Achieving adequate implant fixation is critical to optimize survivorship and postoperative outcomes after revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA). Three anatomical zones (ie, epiphysis, metaphysis, and diaphysis) have been proposed to assess fixation, but are not well-defined. The purpose of the study was to develop a deep learning workflow capable of automatically delineating rTKA zones and cone placements in a standardized way on postoperative radiographs.
