Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of using LFSO and TKA for treating Ranawat's type 2 fixed valgus deformity. The results showed that LFSO is an effective technique for achieving optimal soft tissue balance and satisfactory clinical outcomes with restored knee alignment.

Summary: Research suggests that medial epicondylar osteotomy is a safe technique during total knee arthroplasty for patients with severe varus deformity. Compared to extensive medial release, medial epicondylar osteotomy has similar effects in correcting angles and medial joint line gaps.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis and systematic review of osteotomies combined with total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The results showed that osteotomy procedures improved the preoperative status of patients, but there is a lack of randomized control trials and evidence-based surgical guidelines.

Summary: The study found that the degree of valgus deformity and the grade of osteoarthritis do not predict the outcome of total knee arthroplasty in patients with advanced valgus osteoarthritis. Surgery appears to be justified in patients who failed nonoperative treatment, regardless of the degree of deformity.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent different sequences of ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Results showed that patients achieved similar favorable outcomes in clinical scores and survivorship regardless of the sequence of surgeries. Total joint arthroplasty can be performed safely with excellent outcomes in patients with a history of prior ipsilateral THA or TKA.

Summary: This study introduces a new surgical technique for treating valgus deformity (VD) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and examines its efficacy and complications. The results show that the new technique can reduce the need for soft tissue release, maintain joint stability, and minimize postoperative complications.

Summary: This retrospective study analyzed the outcomes of kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA) in valgus knees and compared them to non-valgus knees. The results showed that KA-TKA was effective in relieving pain and improving function in both groups, with slightly better outcomes in the non-valgus group.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed 24 patients with complex knee deformity and lower limb length discrepancy. They were treated with a self-designed six-axis external fixator and internal fixation. The results showed that this approach can effectively and accurately correct lower limb deformities and achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of different surgical approaches for patients with valgus knees. The subvastus with minimal oblique cut approach showed better early recovery and no increase in complications compared to the medial parapatellar approach.

Summary: Comparing TCVO and OWHTO, TCVO is more effective in treating advanced knee OA with intra-articular deformity, but has limited capacity to correct varus angle. TCVO may be suitable for medial-compartment OA with pre-operative FTA >= 185 degrees.

Summary: This review discusses the outcomes of bilateral knee arthroplasty in patients with windswept deformity (WSD). The results show that knee replacement surgery improves knee function and reduces axial deviation in both valgus and varus knees. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) allows for limited axial correction, while kinematic alignment (KA) provides similar results in both knees. The choice of implant is important for functional outcomes.

Summary: In young patients with isolated medial compartment arthritis, the conversion rates to total knee arthroplasty are higher with unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) compared to proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO). However, the overall reoperation rate is higher with PTO, primarily due to complications and revision procedures. Overall survivorship is acceptable for both procedures.

Summary: The study retrospectively analyzed the results of medial closing-wedge distal femur osteotomy (MCW-DFO) for treating osteoarthritis in valgus knees at medium- to long-term follow-up. The surgery showed improvements in symptoms and reduced disease progression in properly selected patients.

Summary: This study found that patients undergoing TKA after UKA or HTO had higher revision rates compared to those undergoing primary TKA, with HTO patients having lower revision risk than UKA patients. However, no significant differences in postoperative complications were found between the two groups.
