Protocol Deviations:

1. Femur Anatomical Landmarks. As the specimen did not include femoral head, landmarks on femoral shaft at its most proximal circumference were digitized.

Notes:

1. Registration Markers - Preparation. Drilling axis (for screw placement) and marker center are not concentric. Careful handling is necessary not to rotate the markers after their installation on bones. Preparation of the markers beforehand, by drilling on the lathe may be helpful to establish concentricity.

2. Registration Markers - Digitization. Digitization order for femur spherical markers are: 1 - anteromedial, 2 - medial, 3 - lateral. Digitization order for tibia spherical markers are: 1 - lateral, 2 - medial, 3 - posterior.
