“…Hence the medial compartment of the knee is overloaded by 50% compared to the lateral compartment. 18 MAD is the distance between the mechanical axis line and the center of the knee in the frontal plane. A lateralized MAD, reflected by an increase of the distance between the mechanical axis and knee joint center, leads to a shift of the mechanical load to the lateral knee compartment.…”

“…The process was conducted separately by two authors, whose values for the MAD of each patient were averaged. The distance between the centre of the knee and the mechanical axis defines the MAD and is proposed to be normal with 10 mm of medial deviation (range 3−17 mm) (23). The mechanical tibiofemoral angle was determined likewise by 1 author; here, normal values of 1.0° to 1.3° varus have been reported (27,28).…”

“…The mechanical axis (MA) is defined as the line joining the hip joint centre and the centre of the dome of the talus; the mechanical axis deviation (MAD) represents the distance of the MA from the knee joint centre in the frontal plane, as shown in Fig. 1 (23).…”

“…The alignment of the lower extremity is frequently evaluated by extrapolating the femoral-tibial angle (FTA) and the mechanical axis from standing, full-length, plain radiographs [4,5]. However, the FTA and mechanical axis provide an incomplete picture of the alignment of the lower limb as they exclude assessment of the hindfoot axis.…”
