Accuracy and Early Outcomes of Patient-Specific TKA Using Inertial-Based Cutting Guides: A Pilot Study.

ABSTRACT: Background and objectives: Patient-specific components (PSC) represent an innovative option for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in advanced osteoarthritis. Their effectiveness, however, closely relies on accurate positioning. Our study investigates the accuracy achieved by means of an inertial-based extramedullary cutting guide and the postoperative clinical and radiographic outcomes. Methods and materials: This was a prospective, single-arm, pilot study involving patients undergoing primary TKA with YourKnee^TM PSC. Femoral and tibial bone resections were performed using the Perseus inertial-based extramedullary cutting guide. Postoperative mechanical alignment and component positioning were assessed by computed tomography. Clinical outcomes were evaluated preoperati
