Our questions were: (1) is there a relationship between varus/valgus stress angles and MFTA in maximal extension (unstressed knee alignment); (2) is the relationship between varus/valgus stress and MFTA in maximal extension (unstressed knee) the same for all preimplant knee deformi...
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...

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 ...
Varus and valgus deformities of the knee joint: disease specific or biomechanical? : Fawthrop F, Cushnaghan J, Shue L, Dieppe P. Engng Med 1986; 15; 87–88doi:10.1016/0268-0033(86)90159-2Clinical Biomechanics
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...
The patient was placed prone with the knee slightly flexed to ensure that the femur was parallel with the X-ray plate and particular care was taken to avoid rotational error by ensuring a symmetrical outline of the femoral component. The valgus angle of the component was taken Results From X...
We performed a randomised, prospective study of 80 mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasties (80 knees) in order to measure the effects of varus-valgus laxity and balance on the range of movement (ROM) one year after operation. Forty knees had a posterior-cruciate-ligament (PCL)-retaining prosth...
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...
