Role of Full-Length Lower Limb Scanogram in Pre-Operative Radiological Assessment for Total Knee Arthroplasty

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure performed in patients with severe osteoarthritis to relieve pain and restore function. The success of the procedure depends on correct planning and implant selection for which full length radiograph or scanogram of the knee is performed. Various axes and angles are measured which help in decision making. Hence it is important for the radiologists to have an in-depth knowledge of these measurements which are crucial for the fellow orthopedic surgeons.
