The correct alignment and orientation required for a knee prosthesis during total knee arthroplasty surgery is carried out by directly locating the centers of rotation of the head of the femur and ankle. These centers of rotation are combined with easily identified landmarks on the distal femur and proximal tibia to simply and accurately define the actual weight bearing axis of the patient's limb.

L'alignement et l'orientation corrects requis pour une prothèse du genou durant une arthroplastie totale du genou s'effectuent par la localisation directe des centres de rotation de la tête du fémur et de la cheville. Ces centres de rotation sont combinés avec des repères, faciles à identifier, placés sur le fémur distal et le tibia proximal, afin de définir de manière simple et précise l'axe porteur réel propre au membre du patient.
