1 Static knee alignment and its association with radiographic knee osteoarthritis 
T.D.V. Cooke, M.A., M.B., B.Chir., F.R.C.S. (c)  Osteoarthritis and Cartilage  Volume 15, Issue 7, Pages (July 2007) DOI: /j.joca Copyright © 2007 Osteoarthritis Research Society International Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Diagram of the lower limb alignment as indicated by the Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) angles. Showing varus (-ve HKA), neutral and valgus (+ve HKA) alignment. In neutral the femoral (FM) and Tibial (TM) axes are co-linear with the load bearing axis (LBA).

3 Fig. 2 Diagram illustrating a varus limb alignment with the angular features of articular geometry. Key FM-FS Femoral mechanical - Femoral Shaft angle; CH condylar hip angle; CP Condylar Plateau angle; PA plateau ankle angle.
