Table 3 Results of t-test analysis of lateral compartment opening when varus 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 | 4.8 mm ± 2.2 mm (0.5–8.7 mm) | 6.7 mm ± 2.2 mm (2.7–12.6 mm) | < 0.0001 |
Flexion | 5.8 mm ± 2.4 mm (0–12.6 mm) | 7.4 mm ± 2.6 mm (2.6–13.4 mm) | 0.0003 |
