TKR in a valgus knee with malunited shaft of femur
68 year old gentleman whose xrays below where sent to me for opinion.
Option 1. Ideal case for CAS
option 2. If CAS is not available what next? comments pleaase
The concerned surgical team did not have CAS. We suggested to get the Full length xray(limb axix)mechanical axis. The angle from a reference to the distal intramedullary axis was used for the distal femoral cut with out compromising the collateral insertion
