Restoration of mechanical axis in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is correlated with improved implant survivorship. We assessed the accuracy and required surgical time using a hand-held accelerometer-based navigation system for TKA. Data collected on 53 patients included assembly, resection, and tourniquet times. Implant alignment and mechanical axis were measured on radiographs. Femoral alignment was 0.29 degrees +/- 2.2 degrees varus. Tibial alignment was 0.09 degrees +/- 1.4 degrees valgus. Postoperative mechanical axis was 0.2 degrees +/- 2.1 degrees varus. Malalignment rates for the femur, tibia, and axis were 13%, 3.8%, and 17%, respectively. Average time for pinning and navigating was 3.6 minutes for the femur and 2.6 minutes for the tibia; mean tourniquet time was 62 minutes. This navigation system accurately re-established mechanical axis without increasing surgical time. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
