Abstract:Background: There is a paucity of data regarding the post-operative influence of total hip arthroplasty (THA) on the axial and coronal alignments of the ipsilateral knee. A CT study was designed to assess the post-THA changes in axial and coronal knee alignments in low-grade dysplastic hips. Methods: Forty Crowe I–II dysplastic hips in 37 patients were assessed: a pre-operative CT scan from the fourth lumbar vertebra to the tibial plateaus was compared to a similar post-operative CT scan performed after a mini… Show more
