Core Tip	Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most successful and commonly performed surgical procedure for the treatment of severe knee osteoarthritis with excellent 15-20 years survivorships. This article provides an analysis on patient specific matched guides (PSG) between different manufacturers and the conventional technique and between pin- and cutting guides for TKA. In addition, we compared our results with previous studies (level 1 evidence), which are generally unambiguous, and show no radiological difference. However, in this trial, we do see difference in favour of the PSG technique.
