Article Description

Although assessment of lower extremity alignment is important for the treatment and evaluation of diseases that present with malalignment of the lower extremity, it has generally been performed using only plain radiographs seen in two dimensions (2D). In addition, there is no consensus regarding the criteria for quantitative three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of the relative angle between the femur and tibia. The purpose of this study was to establish assessment methods and criteria for quantitatively evaluating lower extremity alignment in 3D and to obtain reference data from normal elderly subjects.
