Abstract:Background and objectives: The popliteal crease varies among individuals, and there has been no prior study on this aspect. We assumed that it may be associated with lower extremity alignment and osseous morphology. To demonstrate this, we conducted a radiographic analysis. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 121 knees of 63 patients, whose popliteal creases were well distinguished on clinical photographs. PCOA was defined as the angle between the longitudinal axis of the lower leg and the poplit… Show more
