Summary

To Detect the Prevalence Of Coronal Femoral Bowing in Egyptian arthritic knee. The restoration of normal coronal alignment of the lower extremity is very important to surgeons who perform reconstructive surgery of the knee, such as total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The importance of achieving normal coronal alignment of the lower extremity after TKA is widely recognized . TKAs with coronal malalignment tend to fail earlier than those with neutral alignment. 8 Coronal alignment is considered key to the function and longevity of a TKA. However, most studies do not consider femoral and tibial anatomical features such as coronal femoral bowing and the effects of these features and subsequent alignment on function after TKA are unclear investigators therefore determined the prevalence of coronal femoral bowing, femoral condylar orientation (mLDFA ) , and tibia plateau inclination (mMPTA ) in osteoarthritic Egyptian population
