Influence of the post-operative axis on the clinical results of total knee replacement for severe varus deformities: does a slight residual varus improve the results?

ConclusionThe results of knee replacement performed for severe varus deformity are not adversely affected by post-operative valgus alignment. There is in fact a trend towards superior results for neutral or valgus alignment than slight residual varus, but this difference was not statistically significant.
