Purpose:
We undertook this study to determine whether it is justifiable to use a fixed femoral valgus angle in patients undergoing TKR.
Method:
134 knees (59 females and 19 males) were studied by measuring their femoral valgus angle (FVA) on CT scan and the data was assessed statistically.
Result:
The average FVA was 5.83° ± 0.64 (range - 4-7.5°). There was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between the FVA between males and females and as per age.
Conclusion:
We conclude that it is justifiable to use a fixed femoral valgus cutting angle in the patients undergoing total knee replacement.
