AIM : To compare the measurements of knee rotation laxity by non-invasive skin pointer with a knee rotation jig in cadaveric knees against a skeletally mounted marker. METHODS : Six pairs of cadaveric legs were mounted on a knee rotation jig. One Kirscher wire was driven into the tibial tubercle as...
