Purpose: This study aims to identify the effectiveness of the medial cortical line for attaining a more accurate tibial component alignment in proximal tibial resection using an extramedullary alignment rod.Materials and Methods: The study examined 100 cases of total knee arthroplasty performed from December 2013 to February 2014 in a retrospective manner. On a preoperative anteroposterior (AP) radiograph of the entire tibia, we identified the medial cortical line that runs parallel to the tibial anatomical axis and passes the medial tibial spine, and measured the point where the medial cortical line crosses between the medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus in the ankle joint. Results: The preoperative AP radiograph of the tibia showed the medial cortical line passing the point 40.4%±0.8% medial to the distance from the medial malleolus to the lateral malleolus including the skin thickness in the ankle joint. When the proximal tibial resection was performed with the extramedullary tibial cutting guide aligned with the medial cortical line, the tibial component angle averaged 0.7°±0.3° varus and the alignment accuracy of the tibial component within 0°±3° varus amounted to 97.0%. Conclusions: The use of the medial cortical line in proximal tibial resection with an extramedullary tibial cutting guide allowed for relatively accurate alignment of the tibial component.
