Tibiofemoral alignment and the results of knee replacement. Abstract Text:

M Tew,W Waugh,

We examine the hypothesis that a knee replacement is most likely to survive successfully if it is stable with a coronal tibiofemoral angle close to 7 degrees of valgus, the accepted normal. The records of 428 knee replacements followed up for one to nine years were analysed. The highest success rate was indeed found in those so aligned at operation and such knees were most likely to remain stable. Nevertheless, half of the failures occurred in knees correctly aligned at operation and two-fifths in knees which had remained stable in this alignment; many failures must have been caused by factors other than malalignment. Some knees, well aligned at operation, deteriorated into severely varus or valgus positions; their failure rate was significantly higher than that for knees which remained normally aligned and higher also than for knees severely varus or valgus from operation onwards. Malalignment, in itself, may not be the most important cause of failure, though it probably does compound failure from other causes.
