PSI of no clinical, radiographic, or stability benefit in total knee arthroplasty
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc. 2018 Jun;26(6):1792-179942 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty were randomized to surgery completed with either patient-specific instrumentation or conventional instrumentation.
