This study was performed to compare the accuracy of intramedullary versus extramedullary tibial resection in 54 total knee arthroplasties. An intramedullary guide was used in 27 patients[group 1] and an extramedullary guide was used in another 27 patients [group 2]. Femorotibial angles were measured postoperatively with group 1 averaging 7.52-degree valgus in 25 out of 27 patients and 1.5-degree varus in 2 out of 27 patients. In group 2, the average femorotibial angles were 6.92-degree valgus in 26 out of 27 patients and 1.0-degree varus in one patient. The tibial component alignment angles averaged 89.78-degree varus in group I versus 90.85- valgus in group 2. However, 77.8% of the patients were aligned within the range of 7 +/- 2-degree valgus femorotibial angle in group 1 versus 62.96% in group 2
