Abstract:Purpose
Bone resection was highly valued in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but how to determine the amount of distal femur resection is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to explore how to use lateral condyle as a reference for distal femoral osteotomy in TKA.
Method
Imaging data from 118 nonarthritic subjects and 123 osteoarthritis (OA) subjects were used to assess the cartilage wear pattern of the distal femur in varus knees. Measurements were performed on three-dimensional reconstruction … Show more
