Amount of mechanical hip-knee-ankle (mHKA) angle correction by fixed-bearing medial UKA can be predicted using a new morphological assessment method: the arithmetic hip-knee-ankle (aHKA) angle
In fixed-bearing UKA, postoperative changes in mHKA angle are likely to be more pronounced when there is a significant difference between aHKA angle and preoperative mHKA angle. Surgical planning should account for this factor to optimise outcomes.
