Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to report the first 72 cases submitted to primary TKR with the aid of a Computer Assisted Infrared Navigation System (OrthoPilot) at the Instituto de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, Universidade de Sao Paulo, Brazil. The system was used to determine the coronal mechanical axis of the lower limb both preoperatively and postoperatively, as well as it guided the orientation of femoral and tibial bone cuts. In that manner it provided not only the initial assessment and the bone cuts orientation, but also the results of limb alignment after the cementation of all the components.
