PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the position of the femur relative to the tibia throughout range of motion in the osteoarthritic knee to evaluate knee kinematics and assess its relationship with the degree of varus deformity. METHODS: In this study, 116 preoperative knees with varus deformity were evaluated using a navigation system. The internal-external, anteroposterior, and mediolateral positions of the femur relative to the tibia were measured at maximum extension, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 105°, and 120°, and maximum flexion angles...
