Distal femoral rotational axes in Indian knees.
PURPOSE To measure the angular relationships of distal femoral rotational axes in 100 normal Indian knees. METHODS 42 men and 8 women aged 26 to 40 (mean, 31) years, with 100 normal non-arthritic knees were recruited. Anatomic landmarks were measured using computed tomography. They included the posterior condylar axis, the transepicondylar axis, the anteroposterior axis (Whiteside's line), th...
متن کاملThe Clinical Outcome of Simultaneous Lateral Closed- Wedge Distal Femoral Osteotomy and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in the ACL-deficient Knees with Symptomatic Femoral Varus Deformity
Background: Nowadays combined high tibial osteotomy and ACL reconstruction is accepted as a safe and effectivesurgery for patients with symptomatic varus osteoarthritis and anterior knee instability; however, the source of varusdeformity is sometimes the femoral bone. No studies have reported concomitant ACL reconstruction and distal femoralosteotomy in ACL-deficient knees wit...
متن کاملEvaluation of Distal Femoral Rotational Alignment with Spiral CT Scan before Total Knee Arthroplasty (A Study in Iranian Population)
Background: Evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative CT scanning. The purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational ...
متن کاملAveraging different alignment axes improves femoral rotational alignment in computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty.
BACKGROUND Computer navigation systems generally establish the rotational alignment axis of the femoral component on the basis of user-defined anatomic landmarks. However, navigation systems can also record knee kinematics and average alignment axes established with multiple techniques. We hypothesized that establishing femoral rotational alignment with the use of kinematic techniques is more a...
متن کاملCorrelation between the distal anterior femoral cortical axis and femoral rotational alignment: an anatomic study.
PURPOSE To determine the correlation between the distal anterior femoral cortical axis (DAFCA) and the femoral rotational alignment/axis. METHODS Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 82 knees in 34 men and 23 women aged 16 to 47 (mean, 33.4) years were reviewed by a musculoskeletal radiologist. Their diagnoses included meniscal tear (n=4), chondromalacia (n=25), anterior cruciate ligament tears...
