Popis: Purpose: To quantify the effects of the systematic internal and external femoral component rotations and tibial slope on the medial and lateral tibiofemoral gaps in total knee endoprostheses. Methods: Nineteen knee cadaver specimens with an intact ligament apparatus were fixed in a custom frame, facilitating physiological flexion motion. Virtual total knee arthroplasty (TKA) was performed on three-dimensional models obtained from computed tomography ​scans (0° and 90° flexions) with systematically altered femur rotations and tibial slopes. Results: Both the femur rotation and the tibial slope influenced the medial and lateral tibiofemoral flexion gaps (p ​
