Femoral Valgus Correction Angle for the Intramedullary Alignment Rod Is Strongly Associated with Femoral Lateral Bowing in Japanese Patients with Varus Knee Osteoarthritis Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty

<div>Shape of the proximal, middle, and distal femur in the coronal plane assessed by three-dimensional bone models. (a) MA-SEA angle, (b) femoral offset, (c) FBA, and (d) MA-DFC angle. MA–SEA angle: medial angle between the FMA and the SEA, FMA: femoral mechanical axis, SEA: surgical epicondylar axis, FBA: femoral lateral bowing angle, MA–DFC angle: medial angle between the FMA and the DFC, DFC: the line that connects the distal margins of the medial and lateral femoral condyles.</div>
