Gender difference exists in sagittal curvature of the distal femoral condyle morphology for osteoarthritic population

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate gender-related differences in the sagittal curvature of the distal femoral condyle in the Korean osteoarthritic population Methods The sagittal curvatures of the distal femoral condyle of 1979 Korean patients (1680 female and 299 male) were evaluated...

Description
Summary:Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate gender-related differences in the sagittal curvature of the distal femoral condyle in the Korean osteoarthritic population Methods The sagittal curvatures of the distal femoral condyle of 1979 Korean patients (1680 female and 299 male) were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI scans were obtained before total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in consecutive patients with end-stage osteoarthritis. The sagittal curvature of the distal medial and lateral femoral condyles was characterized with respect to the anterior, distal, and posterior circles. The diameter of each circle was measured. This study included 1873 varus and 106 valgus knees. Results The anterior, distal, and posterior diameters were significantly greater in the male patients than in the female patients ( P
