The majority of orthopaedic surgeons even currently agree that primary total arthroplasty in
valgus knees with a deformity of more than ten degrees may prove challenging. The unique …

Background Passive knee stability is provided by the soft tissue envelope. There is
consensus among orthopedic surgeons that good outcome in Total Knee Arthroplasty …

Because of trauma, metabolic bone disease, congential deformity, or prior osteotomy, an
extraarticular deformity may be present in patients requiring total knee arthroplasty. If the …

Purpose To investigate the biomechanical properties of the load shifting following opening-
wedge distal femoral varus osteotomies (DFVOs) and determine the osteotomy correction …

INTRODUCTION: In valgus knees, ligament balance might remain a challenge at total knee
prostheses implantation; this leads some authors to systematically propose the use of …

Valgus knee deformity can present a number of unique surgical challenges for the total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) surgeon. Understanding the typical patterns of bone and soft-tissue …

For successful TKA, good soft tissue balance is one of the most important factors; however, it
is unknown whether the coronal balance immediately after surgery is maintained with time …

Purpose The optimal coronal alignment is still under debate. However, in most of the
studies, alignment was only assessed using radiographs, which are not accurate enough for …

Purpose To perform a detailed deformity analysis of patients with varus alignment and to
define the ideal osteotomy level (tibial vs. femoral vs. double level) to avoid an oblique joint …

Comparing mainly clinical and functional outcomes as well as prosthesis survival with
neutral and residual mild varus alignment, we searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane …
