Table 6 Basic demographics of patients with PFC-Sigma and Attune implants and comparison of means of various parameters between PFC-Sigma and Attune knees within FBRD and FBRE groups, both before and after surgery

From: Notching is less, if femoral component sagittal positioning is planned perpendicular to distal femur anterior cortex axis, in navigated TKA
