Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze femoral shaft sagittal parameters in Chinese osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and identify whether the parameters in the coronal plane could be predictors of those in the sagittal plane. Standard long-standing anteroposterior and femoral lateral radiographs of 50 lower limbs in 50 Chinese OA patients were included. Sagittal femoral bowing angle (sFBA), angle between femoral distal anterior cortex axis and sagittal mechanical axis (DACSMA), angle between femoral distal anterior cortex axis and sagittal distal anatomic axis (DACSDAA), and angle between femoral sagittal mechanical axis and sagittal distal anatomic axis (SMADAA) were measured. Then the relationship between femoral shaft parameters in the sagittal and coronal planes were identified, including coronal femoral bowing angle (cFBA), valgus angle, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), length of femur (LF), femoral offset, femoral neck stem angle (FNS), and mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA). A two-sided Pearson correlation coefficient was obtained to identify the correlations between parameters in the coronal and sagittal planes. P values <0.05 were considered statistically significant. The mean sFBA was 15.08° ± 3.79°, the mean DACSMA was 1.35° ± 2.70°, the mean DACSDAA was -2.66° ± 2.05°, and the mean SMADAA was 4.01° ± 2.55°. No correlation between parameters in the coronal and sagittal planes was found. In this study, the discreteness of DACSMA, DACSDAA, and SMADAA in Chinese OA patients is high and this may affect the position of femoral prosthesis after TKA using the conventional intramedullary device. No parameters in the coronal plane are found correlated with those in the sagittal plane. Researchregistry2337.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2017.
All research outputs
#17,913,495
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#919
of 1,398 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#226,388
of 315,743 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research
#12
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,398 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 315,743 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
