This study was conducted to determine how anesthesia affects the varus and valgus stress tests after TKA. A consecutive series of 26 patients undergoing staged bilateral TKA was evaluated. Varus and valgus laxity of the knee with the TKA implant was measured a few days before the contralateral ...
display the forearm. Holding the bicep, the doctor of clinician can then manipulate the joint for a varus or valgus stress test. Another test, called the lateralcompression test, involves performing the valgus test on the elbow or knee, while the limb being tested is slowly bent and extended...

Precautions: Varus Stress Test Varus Stress Test may give False Positive result Femur rolls externally if not supported Slight knee flexion may allow for laxity Stabilize ipsilateral ankle to isolate knee ...
Manual varus and valgus stress tests at 10° and 90° flexion assessed virtual ligament tension in the medial and lateral compartments before bone cuts. Necessary soft tissue releases were performed if balance could not be achieved. All surgeries were performed by the same senior author who is ...
tests to assess the integrity of the MCL. One of the tests was the valgus stress test, particularly at 30° of knee flexion. As a stand-alone test, it had a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 67% the pain was used as the outcome measure and a sensitivity of 91% and specificity ...
20) and advanced OA (K–L grade 3–4, =26). The subject climbed up and down 8 steps on a staircase apparatus over a period of 10min. The anteroposterior (A–P) translation was measured with KT2000 arthrometer, and varus–valgus (V–V) rotation was measured on stress radiographs befor...
The co-contraction of medial knee muscles, which provide a varus torque arm, appears to be an effective method for reducing the valgus loads [37]. Ankle The results of the present meta-analysis regarding the ankle joint area showed a significant difference between the DKV and healthy groups ...
The first metatarsal becomes positioned in varus, leading to contracture of the lateral capsule and elongation of the medial capsule. While the transverse ligament keeps the sesamoids anchored to the second metatarsal, the first metatarsal laterally shifts and flattens its crest1,5. The cumulative ...
Valgus osteotomy of the humeral neck: a technique for the treatment of humerus varus. Proximal humerus is defined by both its radiographic and clinical characteristics. Clinically significant humerus has a proximal humeral neck-shaft angle l......
