| Core Tip |
We consider the current study one of the few studies that have investigated the coronal plane alignment of the knee in a North African population; furthermore, adding subtypes based on the ankle joint line orientation was not previously proposed. After evaluating 527 patients (1054 knees), we found that most knees demonstrated varus alignment (76.4%) and an apex distal joint line obliquity (55.3%). Understanding the coronal plane alignment of the knee classification in our knee osteoarthritis population will help surgeons who are willing to adopt a more personalized total knee arthroplasty alignment approach; furthermore, the added subtypes based on the ankle joint line orientation should be considered during preoperative planning. |
