Abstract:The present study evaluates the radiologic particularities of deformities in valgus that are necessary for a correct positioning in frontal and rotational plane of the prosthetic components and for a long term life of the polyethylene and the prosthetic implant. Long leg X-ray performed in orthostatism can evaluate the type and degree of the deformity in frontal plane, it can establish the osteotomy cuts and the necessity of ligament release. The anterior-posterior radiologic incidence of the knee in flexion o… Show more
