Core Tip	Computer tomography (CT) based patient specific blocks (PSB) can help restore the mechanical axis of the patients undergoing primary total knee replacement. In the present study, the PSB group had significantly better post-operative mechanical axis as compared to the conventional instrumentation group. CT based PSB holds promise to help in accurate restoration of the mechanical axis and might decrease the rates of revision after total knee arthroplasty.
