Extra-articular location of the three-dimensional mechanical axis in advanced knee osteoarthritis: an upright computed tomography study
PurposeOne of the most widely used benchmarks of lower-limb alignment is the mechanical axis (MA), which passes through the centers of the femoral...
-
Radiologists should use the hip-knee-ankle angle rather than the mechanical axis deviation to describe knee alignment
ObjectivePreoperative and postoperative coronal knee alignment is an important predictor of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) failure. Radiologists often...

Association of atypical femoral fracture location and lower limb mechanical axis: a computed tomography-based finite element analysis
SummaryAtypical femoral fractures (AFFs) are categorized as low-energy fractures of the femoral shaft or subtrochanteric region. The use of computed...

No relevant mechanical leg axis deviation in the frontal and sagittal planes is to be expected after subtrochanteric or supracondylar femoral rotational or derotational osteotomy
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate if one level of corrective femoral osteotomy (subtrochanteric or supracondylar) bears an...

Comparison of anatomic axes with a navigated functional rotation axis determined by ligament tension for rotational femoral component alignment in cadaver knee arthroplasty
IntroducionThe malimplantation of the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components is one of the main reasons for revision surgery. For determining the...
