Abstract
An estimated 10 to 15% of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) are implanted for a diagnosis of arthritis when a valgus deformity is present. There are various techniques and considerations that must be considered for a successful TKA in a patient with a valgus deformity. This article provides a detailed summary of the anatomy, pathology, bone preparation, soft tissue management, implant selection, and complications when performing a TKA in a patient with valgus deformity.
