Abstract
Conclusion: The use of a CT-free navigation system provides a significant improvement of prosthesis alignment in revision TKA. Alignment, range of motion and ligament situation as well as each step of bone resection can be verified and documented during surgery. Particularly, information about the joint line, the size of the flexion and extension gap and the ligament situation is very useful during surgery. In future, the development of specific revision modules should offer the opportunity of exact intra-operative joint line calculation and planning of step-augmentation. © 2007 Springer Medizin Verlag Heidelberg.
