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).
