Underestimation of varus angulationLimb alignmentOsteotomy around the kneeIn order to investigate the change in limb alignment in cases of knee flexion deformity, 17 male volunteers aged from 25 to 35 years with no complaints and no knee disorders were selected. The femorotibial angle (FTA), ...
Medial stability of the knee is a complex issue, and involves ligaments that behave differently in flexion and extension. The contracture and stretching that occur due to deformity and osteophytes affect these ligament structures unequally, and often cause different degrees of tightness or laxity in ...
Intra-medullary alignment has been shown to be superior to extra-medullary alignment in most instances [1], [2]. Unfortunately, the direction of the intra-medullary rod bears no direct relation to the long axis of the femur, valgus angle of the knee or mechanical axis of the leg [3]. ...
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 ...

Functionally Oriented Alignment of the Lower Extremity Reflecting the Direction of Gait for Healthy Elderly, Knee Osteoarthritis, and Total Knee Arthroplas... PurposeThe objective of this study was to evaluate the functional lower extremity alignment based on both position and motion [functionally orient...
Varus alignment increases the risk of progression of medial ventricular OA in KO [28]. The knee adductive moment reflects the dynamic load in the medial joint compartment and predicts the progression of radiographic OA [27,29]. Therefore, for patients with varus deformity of KO, medial OA is...

This study tested whether alignment influences the risk of incident and progressive radiographic tibiofemoral osteoarthritis. METHODS: In an observational, longitudinal study of the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study cohort, full-limb x-rays to measure alignment were acquired at baseline and knee x-rays ...
In the toddler, physiologic genu varum predominates as the most common cause of varus alignment. During normal development, infantile genu varum follows as part of a sequence from varus to excessive genu valgum, which is then gradually corrected to the adult valgus pattern.210,213Developmental or ...
