Background Coronal deformity correction with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an important
feature in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). The hypothesis of this study was that bone …

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 …

Background The notion that neutral alignment is mandatory to assure long-term durability
after TKA has been based mostly on short-film studies. However, this is challenged by recent …

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 …

Background In place of the mechanical axis (MA), the use of the variable tibiofemoral angle
is frequently used to plan measured resection bony cuts during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) …

Purpose For coronal alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) most surgeons use the
patient's individual hip-knee shaft (HKS) angle (angle between the anatomical axis and the …

Background Little has been published about TKA in windswept deformities of the knees
where combined varus and valgus deformities present in the same patient. Windswept …

Background: Identification of the proper femoral intramedullary (IM) access point is an
important determinant of final implant position in IM-guided total knee arthroplasty (TKA) …

Background Restoration of a neutral mechanical axis (MA) is important to the success of
total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While known differences are present between Asians and …

Purpose We aimed to determine variation in femoral valgus correction angle (VCA) between
the two limbs in a patient with windswept deformity undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) …
