Abstract:
The correct mechanical alignment of the lower extremity plays an important role in preventing osteoarthritis, especially of the knee. For this reason, the verification of this axis is critical for reconstructive surgery as well as trauma surgery of long bones of the lower limb. The mechanical axis of the lower limb is a straight line defined by the center of the femoral head and the center of the ankle joint, ideally passing the knee joint in its center. Deviations from the standard range of th...     »
