Abstract
The study aimed to assess the accuracy of different alignment guides for positioning the tibial component in total knee arthroplasty and evaluate short-term patient outcomes. A comparison was made between the intramedullary and extramedullary alignment jigs in 52 cases of Triathlon total knee arthroplasty. Radiological alignment and patient outcomes were analyzed. Results indicated that the intramedullary jig resulted in significantly more accurate coronal alignment (p = 0.03), while the extramedullary jig yielded more accurate sagittal alignment (p = 0.05). However, there were no significant differences observed in WOMAC or SF-36 scores at the six-month follow-up. The findings suggest that for optimal positioning of the tibial component using this knee system, the intramedullary jig is preferable
