Lower limb full-length radiographs showing lower limbs with windswept deformity. Her mechanical distal femoral angle (mDFA) is 10° valgus on the right femur vs. 1° on the left side. Regarding tibial anatomy, her right mechanical proximal tibial angle (mPTA) is at 0° vs. 5° varus on the left. Because of her important lower limb asymmetry, we consider her lower limb anatomy to be pathologic. Applying unrestricted KA technique would reproduce her lower limbs malalignment.
