Key Points

To assess the factors influencing the valgus cut angle during total knee arthroplasty in the Turkish population.
Analyzed the relationship between valgus cut angle and anatomical factors
Considered patient-specific variables in preoperative assessments
Used radiological outcomes to evaluate effectiveness
Valgus cut angle is significantly influenced by non-standard anatomical factors
Coronal plane deformities show no appreciable impact
Personalized assessments optimize radiological outcomes

Abstract

The results highlight the necessity of personalized assessment of VCA during TKA to optimize radiological outcomes, as opposed to a standardized approach. In the Turkish population, VCA is primarily influenced by NSA, MO, and LDFA, with coronal plane deformities showing no significant effect. This study emphasizes the importance of considering patient-specific anatomical variations during preoperative planning.
