PURPOSE: Patients with varus and fixed flexion deformity (FFD) undergoing TKA may have a significant leg length change (LLC) after surgery. We aimed to determine the correlation between changes in HKA or FFD and leg length in patients undergoing TKA, the combined effect of coronal and sagittal plane deformity correction on LLC, and the possibility of estimating LLC mathematically.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a prospective radiographic evaluation of 242 knees, which had undergone primary unilateral TKA for advanced OA with varus and FFD. Full-length standing calibrated anteroposterior radiographs were used to measure the hip-knee-ankle axis (HKA) and functional leg length after adjusting for magnification. Clinical evaluation of FFD was done using a handheld goniometer.
RESULTS: 224 knees (92.6%) showed increased limb length after TKA averaging 10.7 mm (SD 9.5 mm, P = .000). There was a significant correlation between the change in HKA and FFD from preoperatively to postoperatively with the amount of LLC (ρ 0.326 and 0.346, respectively, P = .000). FFD improvement from preoperatively to postoperatively was 8.1° to 1° (P = .000), respectively. A linear relationship was established between LLC and changes in HKA and FFD, where 10° improvement in HKA would result in an LLC of nearly 4 mm, and 10° improvement in FFD would result in a LLC of nearly 8 mm.
CONCLUSION: LLC may be substantial after correcting varus and FFD with unilateral TKA, it correlates with the change in HKA and FFD and can be mathematically estimated. CLINICAL TRIALS .
