Table 2 Results of t-test analysis of medial compartment opening when valgus stress was applied to both varus and valgus knees in extension and flexion
From: Soft tissue laxity is highly variable in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty
Varus Knees (n = 71) | Valgus Knees (n = 36) | P | |
|---|---|---|---|
Extension | 5.2 mm ± 2.1 mm (1.4–12.4 mm) | 2.6 mm ± 1.6 mm (0–6.5 mm) | < 0.0001 |
Flexion | 5.4 mm ± 2.3 mm (0–12.9 mm) | 3.3 mm ± 1.7 mm (0.5–7.9 mm) | < 0.0001 |
