Purpose The currently used system to classify the lower limb alignment (neutral, varus,
valgus) does not consider the orientation of the joint line or its relationship to the overall …

Purpose There is a lack of knowledge about the joint line orientation of the femur and tibia in
non-osteoarthritic knees. The primary purpose of the present study was to evaluate the …

Purpose There is a lack of knowledge about the native coronal knee alignment in 3D. The
currently used classification system (neutral, valgus and varus) oversimplifies the coronal …

Aims A comprehensive classification for coronal lower limb alignment with predictive
capabilities for knee balance would be beneficial in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This paper …

Purpose Recently introduced total knee arthroplasty (TKA) alignment strategies aim to
restore the pre‐arthritic alignment of an individual patient. The native alignment of a patient …

Purpose In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), knee phenotypes including joint line obliquity are
of interest regarding surgical realignment strategies. The hypothesis of this study is that …

Background Reasons for dissatisfaction with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include unequal
flexion or extension gap, soft tissue imbalance, and patella maltracking, which often occur …

Purpose The aim of this study was to analyse the coronal alignment of a large population of
patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty using a modern classification of the knee …

Purpose Osteoarthritis of the knee is commonly associated with malalignment of the lower
limb. Recent classifications, as the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) and …

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 …
