A patient who underwent total knee arthroplasty maintained a ‘varus’ (outwards) hip-knee-ankle angle, but their joint line angle was changed from apex distal to neutral after surgery. (b) Similarly, ...

Researchers found that a preoperative measurement of a patient’s femoral valgus angle could help them reduce the number of outliers of femoral component positioning in total knee arthroplasty and may ...

When performing knee replacement surgery, also called total knee arthroplasty, doctors traditionally try to align the hip, knee, and ankle in a straight line, forming a neutral alignment, rather than ...

Advances in robotics, imaging, and data integration are enabling more individualised knee prosthesis positioning, raising questions about future surgical standards.

Background Knee valgus angles have been identified as important predictors of ACL injury risk. To screen for athletes with poor dynamic knee stability simple field tests are needed. Objective Purpose ...

Just as failing to perform an alignment on a car after installing a new tire will lead to uneven wear and tear and ultimately tire failure, performing knee surgery without taking into account the ...
