DESCRIPTION:
Most of the varus deformity is caused by deficiency in the medial tibial plateau. From the Back Cover The varus knee has a group of bone and ligament abnormalities that must be addressed to correct the deformity. The distal femoral surface usually remains in valgus alignment to the long axis of the femur. The mechanical axis of the femur is tilted medially relative to the long axis of the tibia. The deep and superficial medial collateral ligaments are contracted and deformed by osteophytes.
