| Core Tip |
Factors affecting primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes could be related to the patient, surgical technique, and the surgeon. One rarely investigated surgeon-related factor was surgeon handedness. We evaluated 370 knees operated by right-handed surgeons, where 177 TKAs were right (dominant side) and 193 were left (non-dominant side). We found no difference between sides regarding the overall limb and individual component coronal plane alignment; furthermore, there was no difference in the functional outcomes between sides, but there were fewer tibial component outliers in the dominant side. Surgeons operating on the non-dominant side should pay attention during the tibial cut and implant insertion. |
