Western-designed total knee implants mismatch Saudi patient knees. Anatomical bony measurements documented by computed tomography.

CONCLUSION: The Saudi population has morphological features of knee bone anatomy that do not match with the widely available prostheses designed for Caucasian knees. As several studies of different ethnicities have documented considerable prosthesis mismatch; our study further indicates the need for new implant designs that take these variations into account.
