The p values refer to the significance of a rank Wilcoxon statistics for dependent sample
FA femoral anteversion, PCA posterior condylar angle, TEA-PTC angle between transepicondylar surgical axis and tangent to the posterior prominent point of the medial and lateral tibial condyles, TEA-PTT angle between transepicondylar surgical axis and tangent to the posterior surface of the tibia at TT sections, TEA-TFA: angle between transepicondylar surgical axis and line joining the center of both malleoli, AMA anatomical–mechanical angle of femur, FI femoral inclination
