Accurate limb alignment in total knee arthroplasty is an essential part of the reconstructive procedure. Good alignment has been shown to correlate with improved outcomes. Malalignment of components greater than 3-4 degrees may be associated with early failure. Electromagnetic navigation is one form of navigation that does not depend upon a line-of-site technology and can help improve the technical result.
