100 Questions with Bolded Answers and Italicized Rationales
SECTION 1: PKA to TKA 2.0 Conversion
1. Which prefix will be added to the name of a newly created TKA 2.0 session file
that was converted from a PKA 3.0 session file?
A) No prefix will be added
B) P2T_
C) TKA_
D) TKA2.0_
Rationale: When a PKA 3.0 session file is converted to TKA 2.0, the prefix P2T_ is
automatically added to identify its origin.
2. When converting a PKA 3.0 session file to a TKA 2.0 session file, which Surgeon
Preference profile will be used?
A) The previous PKA 3.0 Surgeon Preferences
B) Default
C) Previously used TKA 2.0 Surgeon Preferences
D) Previously used TKA 1.0 Surgeon Preferences
Rationale: The Default Surgeon Preference profile is automatically selected during
PKA to TKA 2.0 conversion.
,3. A Mako PKA 3.0 plan can be changed to a Mako TKA 2.0 plan. The user does not
need to re-segment the femur and tibia or recall common landmarks.
A) True
B) False
Rationale: The conversion process preserves segmentation and common
landmarks, so re-segmentation is not required.
4. What happens to CT landmarks new to 2.0 in a PKA to TKA conversion?
Answer: They are left blank
Rationale: The new 2.0 CT landmarks (proximal shaft, distal shaft, medial slope)
remain blank after conversion and must be captured manually.
5. Warnings will appear during PKA to TKA conversion if the original PKA was
planned for which of the following?
A) A lateral uni
B) Bone resection was already performed during PKA workflow
C) A medial uni
D) Both A and B
Rationale: Warnings appear if the original PKA was planned for a lateral uni or if
bone resection was already performed.
6. What information is carried over during PKA to TKA 2.0 conversion?
Answer: Screen captures, patient information (operative side, name, ID), CT
data, segmentation, and CT landmarks
Rationale: All patient-specific data and imaging are preserved during conversion.
, SECTION 2: Constitutional Alignment
7. 'Constitutional landmarks' are used to calculate the patient's _____.
A) Corrected deformity
B) Native deformity
C) Constitutional alignment
D) Mechanical alignment
Rationale: Constitutional landmarks calculate the patient's constitutional
alignment — their pre-disease native coronal alignment.
8. Within 'Mako Case Information' the user can reference the computer generated
'constitutional alignment' value. It will be denoted as _____.
A) aHKA
B) LDFA
C) MPTA
D) Constitutional alignment
Rationale: The computer-generated constitutional alignment value is denoted as
aHKA.
9. If the user updates the 'constitutional alignment' value on the 'Initial
Assessment' page, how will the software respond?
A) The value will update within 'Initial Assessment' and 'Trialing' only
B) The value will update within 'Initial Assessment' only
C) The value will update on all software pages
D) The value will update within 'Initial Assessment', 'Tensioning', 'Trialing' and
'Implant Planning' only
Rationale: The updated value syncs to Initial Assessment, Tensioning, Trialing, and
Implant Planning pages.
