It isn’t exceptional that in orthopedic surgery, the surgeon observes during his intervention the important deformations in the knee, like a bad leg orientation, collapse of some bone surfaces, shortening or lengthening ligaments etc. That makes it sometimes necessary to make complementary gestures like lengthen a ligament, adapt a bones cut, in order, to have a best knee performance. The join an implant system associated with a revision instrument of total knee prosthesis (PTG) causes the navigation system to produce a perfect alignment, stability and functional results that are both reliable and precise. In this paper, a procedure which uses the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm for total knee alignment prosthesis is proposed in order to improve the current technique and thus avoid the revision surgery of total knee prostheses.
