  • Abstract

    The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate the variability in femoral geometric ratios among knees of different sexes and races, and to appreciate whether the observed variability is accommodated by commonly implanted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components. The hypothesis was that the anthropometric studies report considerable variability of femoral geometric ratios among sexes and races.
