Table 3.
Proportion of postoperative FMA, TMA, and HKA phenotypes matching the contralateral, unaffected leg
Phenotype | Same phenotype in KA TKA and contralateral leg (%) | KA TKA phenotype was 1 more varus than contralateral leg (%) | KA TKA phenotype was 1 more valgus than contralateral leg (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Femoral mechanical angle (FMA) | 81 | 6 | 13 |
Tibial mechanical angle (TMA) | 73 | 11 | 16 |
Hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA)* | 70 | 9 | 19 |
*2% of calipered KA TKA had a HKA phenotype that was 2 more varus and 2 more valgus that contralateral leg
