A Modified Lateral Approach for Total Knee Replacement in Type 2 Valgus Deformity
This study presents a lateral approach for total knee replacement in patients with osteoarthritis and valgus deformity, offering improved soft tissue balance and direct access to pathology. The technique involves gradual release of lateral structures and preserves crucial medial tissues for patellar supply.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Biomedical Engineering
Background:
- Total knee replacement (TKR) for osteoarthritis with valgus deformity presents challenges in achieving soft tissue balance.
- The standard medial parapatellar approach may not offer optimal access for complex valgus deformities.
