Purpose To evaluate the effects of femoral lateral bowing on coronal alignment after total
knee arthroplasty (TKA) and examine whether the use of navigation helps obtain better …

Background Coronal alignment is an important factor for the function and longevity of total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). Coronal bowing of the lower extremity is common among Asians …

Purpose Marked coronal femoral bowing may bear a risk for mal-alignment of femoral
component and reconstructed mechanical axis (MA) by using conventional instrumentations …

Background Lateral bowing of the femur, commonly observed among Asian populations,
may cause malalignment after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, in this study …

This study assessed whether using a variable distal valgus resection angle improved post-
operative coronal lower limb alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Two groups were …

Background Mechanical alignment guides are designed to compensate for variations in the
valgus alignment angle; however, these guides may not be adequate when a patient has …

Purpose The aim of this study was to determine (1) variations in the shape of the proximal,
middle, and distal femur in a series of Korean patients who had undergone total knee …

Postoperative alignment was measured in 80 TKA divided into 2 groups. Knees in the
tailored group (n= 40) were performed with a personalized valgus cut angle (VCA) based on …

Background Proper limb alignment and implant positioning are important for successful total
knee arthroplasty (TKA). It remains unknown whether any differences exist in the restoration …

Background Intramedullary jigs are most often used for distal femoral bone cuts in total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). However, the accuracy of bone cuts in the distal femur may be affected …
