August 19, 2010 — People with varus (outward-facing), but not valgus (inward), knee alignment have an increased risk for the development of osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee, according to a study ...

A recent study determined that African-Americans were less likely to have a varus thrust, but more likely to have valgus thrust than Caucasians. Varus thrust is visualized during gait as the worsening ...

People with varus alignment of the knee have a greater chance of developing osteoarthritis than do those with other types of leg alignment, reported researchers supported by the NIH and its National ...

PARK CITY, Utah — In a debate about the effect of placing the tibia in varus on total knee arthroplasty rates, which was held at the Joint Arthroplasty Mountain Meeting, Mark W. Pagnano, MD, said in ...

Two epidemiological studies using large US datasets, published in Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, offer insights into the relationships between knee joint alignment, cartilage wear and ...

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients suffering from severe knee osteoarthritis (OA). This procedure aims to relieve pain and restore function by replacing the ...

Mechanics and kinematics of the knee joint following total knee replacement are related to the mechanics and kinematics of the normal knee. Some of the important new variables introduced include the ...

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, ...

Introduction SPECT/CT could be used to evaluate the in vivo loading pattern of the patellofemoral joint before and after realignment surgery. The purpose of this study is to investigate, whether the ...

A recent study determined that African-Americans were less likely to have a varus thrust, but more likely to have valgus thrust than Caucasians. Varus thrust is visualized during gait as the worsening ...
