Given the task definition and input, reply with output. Given a passage classify if the passage has a definite objective/aim/goal or not. Output '1' if the passage has a defininte objective/aim/goal and output '0' if the passage does not have a definite objective/aim/goal.

The sagittal fibular axis serves as an intra-operative landmark during conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, only a few relevant anatomical studies have been published regarding its use as an extramedullary guide. Furthermore, the correlation between the coronal fibular and tibial mechanical axes in osteoarthritic knees has been only reported once. Here, the hypothesis of this study is that the fibula can be a reliable intra-operative landmark, in the sagittal and coronal planes, among patients with osteoarthritis who have undergone TKA.', 'Osteoarthritic knees (n = 62) after TKA were evaluated using three-dimensional image-matching software. The angles between the tibial mechanical axis and the fibular shaft axis were measured in the sagittal and coronal planes. Moreover, correlations between the angles and patient-specific factors were evaluated.', 'The mean angle between the tibial mechanical and fibular shaft axes was 2.6° ± 2.3° for posterior inclination in the sagittal plane and 0.9° ± 2.0° for varus inclination in the coronal plane. The percentage of subjects with the fibular shaft axis within 2° of the tibial mechanical axis was 17.7 and 69.3 % in the sagittal and coronal planes, respectively. No patient-specific factors were correlated with the angle between the tibial mechanical and fibular shaft axes.
