Total knee arthroplasty in patients with varus deformities greater than ten degrees: survival analysis at a mean ten year follow-up.

Abstract

Total knee arthoplasty (TKA) is a secure procedure with more than 90% survival at ten years. The purpose of this study was to report both clinical and radiological outcomes of TKA with a varus > 10°. The second objective was to identify risk factors for failure or bad clinical results. Our hypothesis was that results and survey are comparable to TKA with lesser deformities.
