The Influence of medial osteophyte removal on correction of varus deformity in total knee arthroplasty.

CONCLUSION: Correlation was found at 30 degrees of knee flexion between the widths of osteophytes and the degree of angle correction in the coronal plane in TKA. We found the degree of angle correction per 1mm width of osteophyte removal to be 0.4 degrees.
