.5 RA-TKA patients had smaller mean differences in posterior condylar offset ratio which has been previously shown to correlate with better joint ROM at one year following surgery. In addition, these patients were less likely to have values outside of

Introduction The short- and long-term success of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with the correct reconstruction of the hip biomechanics. This includes the reconstruction of the rotation centre and offset, the correct
