Abstract
Computerized navigation-assisted knee arthroplasty makes it possible to personalize the anatomic references determining femoral rotation. It allowed us to position the target rotation with none of the positioning limitations typical of manual instrumentation. We must take into consideration the importance of anatomic variability. The anatomic reference to be used to determine femoral rotation is under debate. It has been shown that APL is the morphologic reference with the least variation, and a good reference for controlling patellar centering.
