Background Dynamic, sequential analysis of knee kinematics is necessary to establish an effective screening method for risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, since dynamic knee valgus is ...

A recent study determined that African-Americans were less likely to have a varus thrust, but more likely to have valgus thrust than Caucasians. Varus thrust is visualized during gait as the worsening ...

Aims: In the early years of life, the angular deviation of knee causes anxiety in parents and alert to paediatricians. The problem is often an expression of physiological development of the lower ...

Intuitively, sensations of knee joint instability (i.e. feelings of shifting, buckling or giving way of the knee) in patients with knee OA may be partly related to the mechanical stability of the ...

People with varus alignment of the knee have a greater chance of developing osteoarthritis than do those with other types of leg alignment, reported researchers supported by the NIH and its National ...

Researchers found that a preoperative measurement of a patient’s femoral valgus angle could help them reduce the number of outliers of femoral component positioning in total knee arthroplasty and may ...
