AB  - <p style="text-align:justify">Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a highly effective procedure aimed at reducing pain and restoring function in patients with severe knee arthritis. The success of TKA largely depends on the accurate alignment of the prosthetic components, which is critical for the longevity of the implant and optimal functional outcomes. The OrthoPilot navigation system has been introduced as a tool to potentially enhance the precision of these measurements compared to traditional radiographic methods. This retrospective study examined 120 patients who underwent TKA using the OrthoPilot navigation system at a single tertiary care center. It compared the accuracy of lower limb alignment measurements obtained from different registration methods of the OrthoPilot system with those obtained using conventional radiographs. Statistical analyses included confidence intervals and p‐values to determine the significance of the differences observed. The OrthoPilot navigation system achieved an alignment accuracy of 97.5% (95% CI: 94.2‐99.8, p=0.023), which was superior to that of conventional radiographs at 95.8% (95% CI: 92.1‐98.5, p=0.035). Furthermore, intraoperative measurements provided by the OrthoPilot system correlated well with postoperative radiographic findings, underscoring the reliability and effectiveness of the navigation system in clinical practice. The use of the OrthoPilot navigation system in TKA significantly improves the accuracy of lower limb alignment measurements compared to traditional radiographic methods. These findings support the integration of advanced navigation technologies in orthopedic surgery to potentially enhance surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.</p>
