Navigated total knee arthroplasty: is it error-free? When navigation is used only to guide the positioning of the cutting jig, errors may arise in the manual, non-navigated steps of the procedure. Our study showed increased cutting errors in the sagittal plane for both the femur and the tibia, and following implantation, the greatest error was seen in the sagittal alignment of the tibial component. Computer navigation should be used not only to guide the positioning of the cutting jig, but also to check the bone resection and implant position during TKA. abstract: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24061715 video example: https://youtube/watch?v=dTOl9h16sUY
