  1. BFA, Berger’s femoral angle; BTA, Berger’s tibial angle; ATA, anatomical tibial angle; BM_PTCA, bimalleolar posterior tibial component angle; TE_PTCA, transepicondylar posterior tibial component angle; BC_PTCA, bicondylar posterior tibial component angle; TE_BM, transepicondylar bimalleolar angle; BC_BM, bicondylar bimalleolar angle
  2. Description of 2D-CT TKA component rotational radiological measurements of the first and second measure for Observer 1, Observer 2 and Observer_3. The variables normally distributed are shown as mean ± SD, 95% confidence interval for mean (lower bound and upper bound), while non-normally distributed data are shown as statistic median (interquartile range, IQR) and minimum–maximum
