Kaufman KR, Hughes C, Morrey BF, Morrey M, An K-N (2001) Gait characteristics of patients with knee osteoarthritis. in their large study on the accuracy of using individualized valgus correction angle during TKA for varus and valgus deformities of the knee, concluded that individual correction angles improve the accuracy of postoperative limb alignment after TKA compared with using fixed valgus correction guides. Contemporary literature on TKA in WSD is scarce, and therefore, the results from the limited studies available cannot be adequately validated.

There are varying degrees of patellofemoral arthritis, and patellar tracking should be optimized to obtain superior outcomes, which in many instances, especially with valgus knees, may require a lateral retinacular release [ 4, 5, 6]. Rao and Reddy [ 15], in their study on the association of frontal plane tibiofemoral alignment with knee pain in 314 knees (195 patients), found a positive correlation between coronal tibiofemoral angles and pain in primary OA.
