Brief summary

Purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the KneeAlign 2 system in terms of precise implant alignment by demonstrating that KneeAlign 2 provides better tibial alignment compared to conventional instruments

Detailed description

Purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the KneeAlign 2 system in terms of precise implant alignment by demonstrating that KneeAlign 2 provides better tibial alignment compared to conventional instruments.

Interventions

DEVICEKneeAlign 2

Patients suffering non-severe varus deformity Osteoarthritis will be enrolled and randomly assigned into one of two treatment groups. Patients in investigational group will be treated with total knee arthroplasty and the accelerometer-based navigational device. Patients in control group will be treated with total knee arthroplasty with conventional instrumentation.
