Table 2.

For the experienced and less-experienced surgeons, the mean and standard deviation in millimeters (mm) of the target minus the initial femoral resection and those resections with a significant difference between surgeons’ level of experience as determined by the Student’s T test are shown

Surgeon’s level of experience Significance
Experienced
(> 50 Calipered KA TKA)
Less experienced
(< 50 Calipered KA TKA)
Distal medial target minus initial femoral resection in mm
 Mean − 0.0 − 0.3 p < 0.0001*
 Std Dev 0.4 0.5
Distal lateral target minus initial femoral resection in mm
 Mean − 0.0 − 0.4 p < 0.0001*
 Std Dev 0.5 0.6
Posterior medial target minus initial femoral resection in mm
 Mean − 0.1 − 0.2 p = 0.0281*
 Std Dev 0.5 0.5
Posterior lateral target minus initial femoral resection in mm
 Mean − 0.1 − 0.4 p = 0.0002*
 Std Dev 0.5 0.6
