Schematic overview of techniques with potential pitfalls

Technique	Pitfall	Result
Tensioned gaps	Natural lateral laxity	External rotation
	Tight patellar tendon	Internal rotation
	Ligament imbalance	Inconsistent
	Wrong tibial cut	Inconsistent
MR- PCL	Lateral dysplasia	Internal rotation
MR -Trochl AP axis	Large variability	Inconsistent
MR- TEA	Inconsistent location	Inconsistent

MR, measured resection; PCL, posterior condylar line; TEA, surgical transepicondylar axis
