Sagittal mechanical ratio: A novel technique to define sagittal alignment of the femur independent of distal anatomic landmarks

Radiographic measurements to study sagittal alignment in the setting of knee are frequently difficult to evaluate due the presence of a prosthesis or implant that obscures traditional radiographic landmarks. In this paper we present a novel method of determining sagittal femoral alignment in the presence of obscuring implants.
