Evaluating Joint Line Restoration in Severe Knee Osteoarthritis
The Adductor Ratio is More Reliable Than Other Techniques in Determining Joint Line in Severe Type M Varus Gonarthrosis
This study is testing the best way to find the joint line in older patients with severe knee arthritis to improve their knee surgery results and overall satisfaction.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to determine the most effective method for identifying the joint line position in patients with severe varus deformity due to Type M gonarthrosis. By comparing two groups of patients with different types of gonarthrosis, the study will measure preoperative values against intraoperative reference values to enhance outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The focus is on achieving optimal alignment and soft tissue tension during TKA to reduce complications and improve patient satisfaction. The study will involve patients over 65 years of age who have varus alignment osteoarthritis of the knee.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients over 65 years old with varus alignment osteoarthritis of the knee.
Not a fit: Patients with post-traumatic or inflammatory types of osteoarthritis may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved surgical outcomes and reduced complications for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
How similar studies have performed: While the approach of evaluating joint line restoration is common, the specific focus on severe varus deformity in Type M gonarthrosis is relatively novel.
