knee, valgus deformity, varus deformity, total knee replacementArthritis of the knee commonly leads to valgus or varus deformity. The authors discuss the principles of management of these deformities with total knee replacement. Virtually any deformity can be corrected. The coronal plane deformity must...

Objective Varus thrust observed during gait has been shown to be associated with a 4-fold increase in the risk of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression. Valgus thrust is believed to be less common than varus thrust; the prevalence of each is uncertain. Racial differences in risk factors ...
BACKGROUND: Coronal deformity correction with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an important feature in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The hypothesis of this study was that bone morphology would be different in varus and valgus deformity, both before osteoarthritis development as well as during...
There are no prior studies reporting the incidence and severity of femoral bowing in a large consecutive series of patients undergoing knee arthroplasty for varus osteoarthritis. We suggest that attention to planning the distal femoral resection can improve the alignment of limbs after TKA; the inciden...
Unfortunately, this operation may fail, and the rates of either reinjuring an ACL-reconstructed knee or sustaining an ACL rupture to the contralateral knee range from 3% to 49%. One problem that exists is a lack of information and consensus regarding the appropriate......
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 varus/valgus alignment of the tibial components of 350 total knee arthroplasties was assessed radiologically. All the tibial components were implanted using an extramedullary guide under the supervision of the senior author. Of components, 96.3% were implanted within 2° of the perpendicular to ...
Numerous measurement devices can help clinicians during the knee examination. However, manual evaluation still remains routinely used to assess the knee laxities. The present study evaluated how accurate was a clinician for a varus-valgus stress test. We compared the clinician evaluation to the object...
