Static knee alignment and its association with radiographic knee osteoarthritis [PDF]
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 2006 Although knee alignment is associated with the progression of knee osteoarthritis (OA), it is unclear which features that characterize radiographic OA are related to alignment. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between static knee joint alignment (measured as a continuous variable) and the radiographic features of knee OA (joint ...

Predicting hip-knee-ankle and femorotibial angles from knee radiographs with deep learning [PDF]
, 2023 BACKGROUND: Knee alignment affects the development and surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Automating femorotibial angle (FTA) and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) measurement from radiographs could improve reliability and save time.

Compensatory Function of the Subtalar Joint for Lower Extremity Malalignment
Advances in Orthopedics, 2019 It is important to evaluate the subtalar joint and hip-knee-ankle alignment to understand lower extremity alignment. In this review, we focused on the compensatory changes in the subtalar joint alignment for the deformity of the knee and ankle joint ...

The Role of Dynamic Knee Valgus in Occurrence of Knee Injuries: A Review Study [PDF]
Ṭibb-i Tavānbakhshī, 2023 Background and Aims Dynamic knee valgus, as a poor movement pattern, may increase the risk of injury in the knee joint. This condition, which is related to a deviation in the lower limb alignment, can cause serious damage to the knee joint during tasks ...
