Background

Achieving a neutral static Hip-Knee-Ankle angle (sHKA) measured on radiographs has been considered a factor of success for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, recent studies have shown that sHKA seems to have no effect on TKA survivorship. sHKA is not representative of the dynamic loading occurring during gait, unlike the dynamic HKA (dHKA).

Research question

The primary objective was to see if the sHKA is predictive of the dynamic HKA (dHKA). A secondary objective was to document to what degree the dHKA changes during gait.
