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...
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
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 ...

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 exact entry point into the femur also influences alignment [4]. Harding et al. [5] have demonstrated that an...
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......
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...
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...
Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (r-TKA) facilitates precise bone resection and lower limb alignment, yet accuracy and functional recovery for severe varus/valgus deformity is not well-documented. The aim of study was to investigate whether r-TKA improves implant alignment in the coronal and...
