 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Femur in total knee replacement front axle as the femoral component rotation on the reliability of bit flags [Abstract] Objective: The MRI measured total knee replacement femoral component rotation through bone marks, the front axle as a total knee replacement femoral prosthesis femoral rotational alignment mark of the reliability of the bone. Methods: 78 normal adult side of the knee joints, magnetic resonance scanning, image orientation in the cross-section through femoral condyle axis, Whiteside’s anteroposterior axis, femoral shaft and femoral condyle of the front axle after. measuring Whiteside’s anteroposterior axis, femoral posterior condylar axis, the front axle relative to the femur by the femoral condylar axis of rotation, compared with respect to the shaft by the femoral condyle of the reliability. Results: STEA femoral internal rotation relative to the front axle (9.61 + -3.36 , internal rotation relative to the CTEA (13.32 + -3.27 . Levene test Tip femur after femoral condyle, respectively front axle shaft, Whiteside’s anteroposterior axis than by the femoral condyle relative to the axis of the variability was significantly different. Conclusion: The front axle as a total knee replacement femoral prosthesis femoral rotation on the reliability of difference flag . [Keywords:] Arthroplasty, replacement, knee, femur, rotation, magnetic resonance imaging Abstract: Objective: To measure the femoral rotational bony landmark on magnetic resonance image, in order to determine if the anterior femoral axis is more consistent relative to the transepicondylar axis than the posterior condylar line and the Whiteside’s line. Methods: 78 normal knees of Chinese individuals were studied. The images of the knee were obtained by magnetic resonance image. The angles measured on traverse sections included: PCA, posterior condylar angle, CTA, condylar twist angle, ASA, angle between the perpendicular of APL and STEA, ACA, angle between t
