We undertook this study to determine the average valgus cutting angle of distal femur in South Indian population since most of the studies are on western population and very few studies in Indian population and particularly South Indian population. Methods: We did a study femoral valgus angle of 174 knees in 87 patients with full length CT scannograms in our radiology department. Results: The average Femoral valgus angle was found to be of 6.51 ± 0.76 and there was no statistically significant difference between male and females or between both the sides. There was a strong correlation between the two sides(0.971) and weak correlation with regards to age(.003).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
