Table 2.

Comparison of outliers of mechanical axis, femoral valgus angle and tibial valgus angle in the three groups

No. of postoperative component alignments more than 3° deviation
Group A N = 55 Group B N = 63 Group C N = 80 p value
Mechanical axis >3° 2 (3.7%) 32 (50.8%) 4 (5.0%) <0.001*
Component alignments >3°
 Femoral valgus angle 3 (5.5%) 33 (52.4%) 5 (6.2%) <0.001*
 Tibial valgus angle 1 (1.8%) 4 (6.3%) 2 (2.5%) 0.335

Group A: osteoarthritis with marked coronal femoral bowing; all underwent CAS-TKA. Group B: osteoarthritis with marked coronal femoral bowing; all underwent conventional TKA. Group C: osteoarthritis without marked coronal femoral bowing; all underwent conventional TKA. The values are given as the n (%); p values for between-group comparison were determined by chi squared tests.

*Statistically significant (p value < 0.05).
