Purpose: Changes in lower extremity alignment in individuals with abnormality of this segments are unclear. The present study aimed to compare lower extremity alignment in subjects with genu valgum and genu varum deformities and healthy... more
A common surgical goal in TKA is to restore neutral alignment of the lower limb by making bone cuts perpendicular to the mechanical axes of the femur and tibia. Standard practice for many surgeons is to use the same distal femoral valgus... more
