| Popis: | Recovery room radiographs (RRR) are routinely performed after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study investigates the utility of these radiographs. Twenty four arthroplasty surgeons were surveyed to rank the value of RRRs. Since RRRs were primarily valued for educational purposes, we examined the ability of 49 orthopaedic trainees to determine the coronal alignment of TKA performed in cadaveric specimens based on these radiographs in neutral, 10° internal and external rotations. Surgeons rated the quality of the RRRs to be significantly lower than the radiographs taken in the radiology suite (5.5 ± 2.5 versus 8.9 ± 0.9, p |
