Approach for selecting prosthetic components for performing virtual total knee arthroplasty. The size of the femoral component used in the simulation was chosen so that the three-dimensional models of the native knee and prosthetic components have similar anteroposterior dimensions in the sagittal plane (|APk – Apc| < 2 mm; APk, distance between the anterior femoral cortex and posterior condyle in the model of the native femur; APc, distance between the most proximal point of the backside of the anterior flange and the posterior condyle in the model of the prosthetic component)
