Implication

Retrospective cohort study reveals novel functional knee phenotypes in young non-osteoarthritic individuals, suggesting improved anatomical classification for surgical planning.

Key Points

To establish a functional knee phenotype classification system based on native coronal lower limb alignment in young patients without osteoarthritis.
Conducted a level III retrospective cohort study analyzing coronal lower limb alignment.
Evaluated native anatomical alignment variations in young non-osteoarthritic individuals.
Established a novel classification framework categorizing functional coronal knee alignment phenotypes.
Identified distinct native alignment distributions to guide personalized reconstructive knee strategies.
