Abstract:PurposeThe purpose of this study was to examine the location where the femoral artery contacts the vastus medialis at the adductor tendon hiatus, which is important when using the subvastus approach in medial closed wedge distal femoral osteotomy. We evaluated the correlation between differences in height, vastus medialis morphology, and lower limb alignment.MethodsSixty knees (16 male, 44 female) that underwent plain computer tomography (CT) were included. Using the radiographic hip‐knee‐ankle (HKA) angle as … Show more
