Values are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (range). BMI: body mass index, FTA: femorotibial angle, FBA: femoral lateral bowing angle, MA-DFC angle: medial angle between the FMA and the DFC, FMA: femoral mechanical axis, DFC: the line that connects the distal margins of the medial and lateral femoral condyles, MA-SEA angle: medial angle between the FMA and the SEA, SEA: surgical epicondylar axis, VCA for the IM rod: femoral valgus correction angle for the intramedullary alignment rod. |
