Total Knee Arthroplasty Outcomes

Bony abnormalities of the femur can significantly complicate total hip arthroplasty both for the primary and revision operations. No standard nomenclature exists for the description of these femoral abnormalities. A classification system is presented to standardize nomenclature, assist in preoperative planning, and to assist in the reporting of these defects.
