The surgical transepicondylar axis (sTEA) is believed to be a consistent reference for femoral rotation axis, and the reliability of its orientation seriously affects the accuracy and outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the orientation of sTEA and femoral bowing angle (FBA) and posterior condylar line (PCL) using three‐dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) reconstruction models to verify its reliability.
