The posterior longitudinal overhang in the femoral condyle (PLOF) has been reported to affect clinical outcomes. This study aimed to compare the PLOF after medial pivot TKA performed using KA and mechanical alignment (MA) techniques.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective computed tomography\u2010based study included 50 knees (from 25 men and 25 women) with medial knee osteoarthritis who underwent unilateral TKA. Femoral component\u2010computer\u2010aided design (FC\u2010CAD) models of a medial\u2010pivot prosthesis originally engineered for MA were positioned on preoperative computed tomography images according to KA and MA protocols. The primary outcomes were medial and lateral PLOF, defined as the sagittal overhang of the FC\u2010CAD model beyond the native bone contour. The extent of distal and posterior femoral resections and correlations among femoral morphological parameters, including femoral valgus, lateral distal femoral, and condylar twist angles, and the PLOF were analysed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean medial and lateral PLOF associated with KA was significantly greater (3.8\u2009\u00b1\u20091.4 vs. 3.2\u2009\u00b1\u20092.0\u2009mm;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.002) and smaller (3.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.6 vs. 4.1\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9\u2009mm;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), respectively, than those associated with MA.

The lack of correlations between the KA\u2010associated PLOF and femoral morphological parameters suggests a native\u2010prosthetic morphological mismatch. Surgeons should consider strategic downsizing when an MA\u2010oriented medial\u2010pivot FC is implanted using KA or employ KA\u2010specific implants to optimise clinical outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
