The assessment of femoral shaft morphology in the sagittal plane in Chinese patients with osteoarthritisâA radiographic analysis
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research Sep 15, 2017
Bao Z, et al. - In this study, the clinicians analyzed femoral shaft sagittal parameters in Chinese osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) as well as identified whether the parameters in the coronal plane could be predictors of those in the sagittal plane. They reported that the discreteness of distal anterior cortex axis and sagittal mechanical axis (DACSMA), angle between femoral distal anterior cortex axis and sagittal distal anatomic axis (DACSDAA), and sagittal mechanical axis and sagittal distal anatomic axis (SMADAA) in Chinese OA patients was high and this might affect the position of femoral prosthesis after TKA using the conventional intramedullary device. However, they found no association between parameters in the coronal plane and those in the sagittal plane.
