    Optimizing tibial base rotational alignment and maximizing tibial coverage are crucial for the success of total knee arthroplasty.

  • 2

    Tibial mal-rotation is linked to higher knee revision rates, emphasizing the need for proper tibial base alignment.

  • 3

    Variations in tibial morphology complicate the selection of optimal tibial base geometry and alignment for individual patients.

  • 4

    Asymmetric tibial bases may improve coverage in patients with asymmetric tibiae, while increasing base sizes may enhance coverage overall.

  • 5

    The study aims to analyze the relationship between tibial base design, patient morphology, and their effects on tibial coverage and alignment.
