Abstract
As we reach the 50th anniversary of ‘modern TKA’, new technologies and new industrial processes render the manufacture of fully customized implants feasible. While this can be considered as a technological breakthrough, addressing several limitations of TKA, we may question whether this costly technology is worthwhile and beneficial for patients. Considering the wide range of TKA sizes now available-sometimes having millimetric-size increments-do we really need customized implants to reproduce the native anatomy?.
