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...
Finally, the resultant limb alignment and degree of joint balance in both flexion and extension of each knee were determined and categorized according to the preoperative knee alignment. Results:Increasing preoperative varus deformity required a greater tibial varus cut to achieve a balanced extension ...

In addition to osteomalacia due to prolonged intravenous SFO, repeated loading stress on the knee joint while walking focused on the medial side of tibial plate by varus deformity of the knee joint, which might result in insufficiency fracture in the proximal medial tibia. A Case of an Insuffici...
mechanical valgus alignment.#Patients predominantly desire a straight knee postoperatively, however, most patients tend to perceive some varus alignment as straight. This is most common in patients with up to 5 degrees of varus deformity and suggests that a restricted or inverse kinematic alignment ...
MethodsPatients with patellofemoral instability were matched 1:3 to a control cohort based on date of surgery (±3months), age (±10years), sex, pre-operative knee deformity (varus or valgus), and implant brand. We analyzed clinical characteristics and seven post-operative radiographic parameters...
