Figure 1. Rigid knee joint distraction device as applied in clinical practice (A). Sagittal view of the newly developed articulating distraction device (B). Joint specific kinematics was bilaterally obtained with a modular measurement device while parallelism of the hinges was ensured by an alignment tool (C). Kinematic data was processed into cam shapes for computer controlled manufacturing of joint specific parts (D).
