Core Tip	Patient specific instrumentation (PSI) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) promises faster operation time, less blood loss, faster rehabilitation, superior implant accuracy, superior overall outcome, and less costs. However, as evident for every new development, its superiority remains to be proven over the conventional systems. Whilst dissatisfaction is reported to be eminent in up to 30% of patients having undergone conventional TKA, it is unclear, whether PSI can address to these patients as a suitable option in the future. The author believes that the current evidence does not support superiority of PSI in TKA over conventional systems.
