Background: We aimed to determine whether coronal alignment measured on the single-limb stance (SLS) radiographs differs from those on the double-limb stance (DLS) images. We also investigated whether the size of such differences was affected by the knee pathology, lower limb alignment, and geometry of the tibia or femur.
Methods: We measured coronal alignment with mechanical tibiofemoral angle (MTFA) on the DLS and SLS radiographs in patients with posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI, 30 knees), osteoarthritis (OA) with varus deformity who were scheduled for high tibial osteotomy (HTO) (60 knees), and in normal control (60 knees).
Purpose: We aimed to determine the quantity and quality of research output of selected Asian countries in the field of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the last 10 years.
Materials And Methods: Top 15 Asian countries were selected according to their gross domestic product. The Science Citation Index Expanded database was used to search for the literature published between 2004 and 2013 using "Total Knee Arthroplasty".
Purposes: We sought to determine the usefulness and the disadvantages of the navigation in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) compared to the conventional technique, in terms of target coronal alignment achievement, tibial slope maintenance, radiation exposure and operative time.
Methods: We retrospectively compared 40 knees treated with navigated MOWHTO by one surgeon with 20 knees treated with conventional MOWHTO by another surgeon. Screw length of the plate was predetermined using validated simple algorithms only in the navigation group to facilitate the operation.
