Abstract:Background: To investigate the effect of residual varus and valgus deformity on the stress distribution of knee joint after distal femoral fracture malunion. Methods: Fourteen adult cadaver specimens with formalin were selected to establish the femoral fractures models, which were fixed subsequently at neutral position (anatomical reduction) and malunion positions (at 3 degrees, 7 degrees, 10 degrees valgus positions and 3 degrees, 7 degrees, and 10 degrees varus positions). The stress distribution on the medi… Show more
