Abstract

Purpose

The lateral approach in the valgus knee asks for a lot of soft tissue releases during the arthrotomy. The hypothesis of this study was that the far medial subvastus approach could be used in valgus knees and would guarantee both functional and radiological good to excellent results.

Methods

This is a retrospective study on 78 patients (84 knees) undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for type I or II fixed valgus knees. The mean (SD) preoperative mechanical alignment was 187° (4°) HKA angle. Functional recovery, pain, tourniquet times, necessary soft tissue releases as well as radiological alignment were measured.

Results

The Knee Score improved significantly from 45 (10) to 90 (10) (P < 0.05) and the function score improved as well from 35 (20) to 85 (10) (P < 0.05). Flexion improved from 110° (10°) to 137° (8°). Hospital stay was 4 (1.2) days. Alignment was corrected to 181° (1.5°) HKA angle with a postoperative joint line shift of +2.8 (3.2) mm. No clinical instability, as evaluated by the senior author, or osteolytic lines was observed at minimal one-year radiological follow-up.

Conclusion

The far medial subvastus approach is an excellent approach to perform Krackow type I and II TKA with primary PS implants.
