ABSTRACT:
Method for selecting one or several knee prosthesis elements, by acquiring spatial data concerning spacing and tensioned femorotibial position, including the corresponding HKA angle, for at least three angular positions, of 20°, of 0°, and of the order of 90° in flexion, processing the data thus obtained to verify whether the HKA angles are substantially equal and included within the tolerable limits, and processing the data, in particular those corresponding to extension and flexion of 90° to determine the dimensions and/or positions of the implant.
