Methods： One hundred osteoarthritic patients （50 males and 50 females） underwent femoral osteotomy by the ante- rior referencing technique. The PCO for each patient was measured from lateral radiographs before, during and 2 years after TKA. The thickness of the joint cartilage was mea- sured by magnetic resonance imaging before TKA and added onto the radiographic measurement. The relationship between changes in the PCO and improvements in the ROF before, during and 2 years after TKA were statistically analyzed. Results： Compared with the preoperative value, the PCO was reduced by （3.45±3.28） mm after TKA, with a significantly larger reduction observed in female patients than male patients （P〈0.05）. When examining the subject popu- lation as a whole, there was a significant positive correla- tion between PCO and ROF improvement during TKA （P〈 0.05）, but this improvement was not maintained 2 years after TKA （P〉0.05）. However, when male and female patients were analyzed separately, there was a significant positive correlation between PCO change and ROF improvement for both sexes at both time points （all P〈0.05）. Conclusions： Restoration of PCO plays an important role in the optimization of knee flexion even after posteriorstabilized TKA. Femoral components based on Caucasian anatomic characteristics could not match the native anatomy of distal femurs in Chinese population especially female Chinese. Rotated resection of distal femur with anterior referencing technique usually leads to a decreased PCO and therefore reduces maximal obtainable flexion.展开更多
