Tibial intramedullary or extramedullary alignment guides have not been shown to be highly accurate in performing the tibial resection in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Since May 2010, a total of 42 knees underwent a TKA using a hand-held, accelerometer-based surgical navigation system for performing the tibial resection (Knee Align; OrthAlign Inc Aliso Viejo, Calif). Postoperative standing anteroposterior hip-to-ankle and lateral knee-to-ankle radiographs demonstrated that 97.6% of the tibial components were placed within 90 degrees +/- 2 degrees to the mechanical axis in the coronal plane, and 96.2% of the components were placed within 3 degrees +/- 2 degrees to the mechanical axis in the sagittal plane. The Knee Align greatly improves the accuracy of tibial component alignment in TKA.
