Correlation between varus-type knee osteoarthritis severity and hindfoot alignment: Analysis of radiographs in the long-leg weight-bearing anteroposterior view
In varus-type knee osteoarthritis cases, defined in accordance with the Kellgren-Lawrence classification, hindfoot alignment leaned toward valgus. As the severity of knee osteoarthritis progressed, the valgus of the hindfoot alignment reduced. While future longitudinal analyses are necessary, these observations indicate both potential compensatory changes and their limitations in varus-type knee osteoarthritis.
