Important Differences Exist in Posterior Condylar Offsets in an Osteological Collection of 1,058 Femurs

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 2015
Posterior condylar offset (PCO) has important implications in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) function and design. In an osteological study of 1,058 femurs, we measured PCO using two separate techniques with a 3D digitizer. Measurements were standardized for the size of the femur. The medial PCO was greater than lateral PCO (32.6mm vs.
