Скачать или смотреть Discover 5 Femur Bone Cuts In Total Knee Replacement⁉️

Why do #orthopedicsurgeons make 5 different Femur bone cuts during total knee replacement? It's not just about removing damaged bone, it's precise engineering for perfect alignment + balance. Each femur cut serves a specific purpose in creating the ideal knee replacement:
✅ Distal femoral cut establishes the overall leg alignment. Set at approximately 5° valgus, this cut provides cosmetically appealing alignment while preventing thighs from rubbing together
✅ Anterior femoral cut affects the patellofemoral joint and sets rotation of the femoral component. Proper rotation (typically 3° external rotation) is crucial for patellar tracking and balanced flexion/extension gaps
✅ Posterior condylar cuts determine the flexion gap when combined with the tibial cut. Surgeons must carefully avoid damaging the MCL and PCL ligaments here #JointReplacement
✅ Anterior and posterior chamfer cuts create transitions between the main cuts and prevent ligament injury #TotalKneeReplacement
.
Femur #bonecuts work together like a precision puzzle. The relationship between cuts determines both mechanical alignment and soft tissue balance. Too much or too little bone removal can affect joint line height, stability, and range of motion. Modern techniques like robotic assistance, navigation, and patient-specific instrumentation continue to improve cut accuracy, potentially leading to better outcomes and longer-lasting knee replacements. Did you know? Studies show that bone cut accuracy within 1-2mm can significantly impact implant longevity + patient satisfaction - surgical skill in making these precise cuts is where science meets artistry.
