Background: During a total knee arthroplasty, it is common to make a distal femoral cut based on the femoral mechanical-anatomical angle (FMA), which in most patients is six degrees. However, in patients with a higher FMA, there is not yet a consensus between surgeons regarding the degree of the cutting angle.
