| Abstract: | PurposeOsteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is a degenerative disease mainly found in elderly population. Valgus deformity seems to be directly related to lateralised gonarthrosis. Contradictory outcomes of surgical series are published in the literature and report satisfactory and unsatisfactory long-term results. Lower limb torsions disorders have been considered as being another factor inducing gonarthrosis. This paper presents an in vitro study aiming at quantifying the relationships between experimental femoral torsion disorders (medial and lateral) and the deformation of the cancellous bone of the proximal tibial epiphysis (CBTPE). |
