* Data are mean angles with SDs in parentheses; †the significances of differences between subgroups were determined by analysis of variance with Bonferroni’s post hoc test. Values significantly different from others after post hoc testing are displayed in bold font; mTFA = mechanical tibiofemoral angle; cFPA = coronal femoral prosthesis alignment; cTPA = coronal tibial prosthesis alignment; NS = not significant; NA = not applicable.
