Coronal Alignment of the Lower Limb and the Incidence of Constitutional Varus Knee in Korean Females

2015 
o ) from the standard values (p=0.083 and p=0.887, respectively). The incidence of constitutional varus alignment was 20.34%. Conclusions: In Korean females, the mechanical axis of the lower limb was not neutral and the incidence of constitutional varus alignment was slightly higher than that in Western females. We believe that these findings should be taken into consideration in planning reconstructive surgery of the knee, such as TKA, unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, and high tibial osteotomy.
