Abstract:PurposeThe degree to which varus knees can be corrected manually is important when considering total versus unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The primary aim was to clarify the relationship between the degree of coronal alignment correction and radiographic parameters involved in UKA prognosis using preoperative full‐length lower extremity valgus stress radiography. The secondary aim was to identify the factors affecting alignment correction.MethodsThis retrospective observational study included 115 kn… Show more
