Figure 4:

The four methods to obtain proper rotation of the femoral component in TKR. A – Representative intraoperative image of rotation made according to the Whiteside line (trans-sulcus axis). B – Representative intraoperative image of use of the transepicondylar axis (parallel to the Whiteside line). C – The resection block set to 3° outer rotation to the posterior condylar axis. D – Representative intraoperative image of use of the tibial resection block, parallel to the biomechanical limb axis. (Scott R.D., Total Knee Arthroplasty, Elsevier, 2006).
