Radiographic parameters were measured on full limb length standing anteroposterior radiographs, including hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA), mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA), anatomical lateral distal femoral angle (aLDFA), and anatomical tibiofemoral angle (aTFA).Results: HKA improved from 176.54°± 3.52° preoperatively to 179.45°± 4.31° at the last followup (P< 0.001). According to the preoperative HKA, 40 hips were defined as knee valgus alignment. The majority of them were characteristic of a valgus mLDFA and a valgus or neutral mMPTA (35%, 47.5%). After THA, there were still 22 hips defined as knee valgus alignment. More than 50% of them were characteristic of a valgus mLDFA and a neutral mMPTA. Five hips (22.7%) revealed valgus alignment in both mLDFA and mMPTA. Twenty-one hips (24.1%) remained knee valgus alignment before and after surgery. One hip, defined as neutral alignment, preoperatively turned into valgus alignment after surgery.Conclusion: Both preoperative and postoperative sources of valgus alignment were mainly from the femoral side among Crowe IV DDH patients. THA mainly played a positive role in the reconstruction of lower limb alignment in these patients.Keywords: total hip arthroplasty, Crowe IV, developmental dysplasia of the hip, knee alignment |
