THE ROLE OF MULTISLICE COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY IN PRIMARY KNEE REPLACEMENT

Abstract

The paper describes a clinical case of planning knee arthroplasty using up-to-date radiological methods. The possibilities and advantage of multislice computed tomography (MSCT) are assessed. MSCT allows the careful planning of knee replacement and also estimation of the position of components after arthroplasty with smaller amounts of radiation of the patient for a short time.
