Resumen

The investigations presented in this paper support the existence of a discrepancy between the planned angulation and the final radiological measure on the coronal plane of the femur and tibia using conventional cutting guides. The observed difference between both the pre and post measurements is small enough to suggest that it probably does not affect clinical outcomes. However, it is important to consider this uncontrollable error to optimize ligament balance and postoperative alignment.
