A New Total Knee Arthroplasty Technique for Valgus Knees that preserves the deep layer of the medial collateral ligament

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes and complications, such as tibiofemoral instability and recurrence of valgus deformity, of total knee arthroplasty for valgus knees with a new technique preserving the deep layer of the medial collateral ligament. Methods: In this study 33 (4 male and 29 female) patients, and a total of 36 (26 knees with osteoarthritis and 10 with rheumatoid arthritis) knees with a standing femorotibial angle (FTA) of
