Background Recent popularity of kinematic alignment and constitutional varus has caused
some surgeons to leave varus limbs in residual varus after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) …

Background In TKA, soft tissue balance (the joint gap) depends on the amount of resected
bone and soft tissue release. Some studies report preoperative bony deformity correlates …

Objective This study aimed to investigate alignment based on age in normal knees and
alignment based on deformity in osteoarthritis (OA) knees using detailed radiographic …

Purpose Approximately 10% of all patients that require a total knee arthroplasty present with
valgus osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. Valgus OA goes along with posterolateral bone loss …

Purpose We hypothesized that the individual bone geometry is the most important variable
to achieve acceptable soft tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty. Methods Long …

Purpose The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of constrained and
unconstrained primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the management of the valgus …

Background Most knee surgeons have believed during TKA neutral mechanical alignment
should be restored. A number of patients may exist, however, for whom neutral mechanical …

Purpose Lower limb malalignment is a strong predictor of progression in knee osteoarthritis.
The purpose of this study is to identify the individual alignment variables that predict …

One hundred seventy-three knees in 117 patients with varus deformity exceeding 20° were
prospectively evaluated. Using selective posteromedial release, reduction osteotomy of …

Background Patients with severe preoperative varus deformity have been reported to have
high rates of loosening after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), primarily on the tibial side. This …
