      <MainHeadline>Text</MainHeadline><Pgraph><Mark1>Objectives and questions: </Mark1>This study aimed to evaluate the impact of patient-specific anatomical characteristics and implant size on endoprosthesis fit in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and establish a preoperative protocol integrating 3D anatomical assessment and fit simulations to optimize prosthesis selection for improved fit to the bone surface, potentially enhancing functional outcomes and patient satisfaction.</Pgraph><Pgraph><Mark1>Material and methods: </Mark1>Virtual implantation of three commercially available off-the-shelf TKA prostheses (DePuy Synthes, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet) was simulated in 92 patients who earlier received custom-designed implants. Fit accuracy was quantified in sagittal, coronal, and axial planes using newly defined measurement parameters.</Pgraph><Pgraph><Mark1>Results: </Mark1>The mean deviation from optimal fit across all prostheses was 3.05&#177;0.17 mm (p&#60;0.01), with significant inter-brand differences (p&#61;0.001): DePuy implants exhibited the largest deviations (3.13&#177;0.19 mm), followed by Stryker (3.06&#177;0.17 mm) and Zimmer (2.95&#177;0.16 mm). Deviations varied significantly (p&#60;0.05) across anatomical subregions and measurement planes.</Pgraph><Pgraph><Mark1>Discussion and conclusions: </Mark1>Conventional TKA systems demonstrated clinically relevant fit deviations (&#62;3 mm) across newly defined anatomical subregions, with implant size and patient-specific anatomy being key determinants. These findings underscore the need for preoperative 3D assessment protocols to guide prosthesis selection based on individual morphological characteristics.</Pgraph></TextBlock>
