A comparative assessment of alternatives to the full-leg radiograph for determining knee joint alignment
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the concurrent validity of alternative measures of frontal plane knee alignment, namely the radiographic anatomic axis and two clinical measures in patients complaining of knee malalignment as compared with the mechanical axis on full-length radiograph of lower limbs. METHODS The knee-alignment angle was measured in 100 knees of...
متن کاملComputed tomography scanogram compared to long leg radiograph for determining axial knee alignment
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Supine computed tomography scanogram (CTS) is a commonly used alternative to weight bearing long leg plain radiograph (LLR) in measuring knee alignment. No published studies have validated its use in the native knee and the post-unicompartmental replacement knee (UKR). We quantified the difference in measurements obtained from CTS and LLR for knee alignment. PATIENTS AN...
متن کاملComparison of Double and Single Leg Weight-Bearing Radiography in Determining Knee Alignment
Background: Knee malalignment is an important modifiable cause of osteoarthritis (OA). Surgical therapeutic procedures depend on proper knee alignment assessment. The purpose of this study was to compare knee alignment parameters between double and single leg weight-bearing radiographs and to evaluate the reproducibility of inter- and intra-observer measurements. Methods: One hundred eight p...
متن کاملReliability of the hip-to-ankle radiograph in determining the knee and implant alignment after total knee arthroplasty.
Hip-to-ankle radiographs have been used to evaluate lower limb alignment before and after total knee arthroplasty. However, earlier studies have inappropriately used correlation to assess the reproducibility of the radiographs. We determined the reliability of the hip-to-ankle radiograph using the Bland-Altman analysis. Two consecutive hip-to-ankle radiographs were obtained in 52 patients (52 k...
