Abstract
In a prospective study of 45 gonarthrosis patients treated with total knee arthroplasty, we performed gait analysis with the Vifor system preoperatively and 6 months and 2 years postoperatively. An evaluation was made of the relationship between dynamic measurements of knee joint load and static, radiographic measurements of alignment. Correlations were found between the knee joint moments in the frontal plane and the Hip-Knee-Ankle (HKA) angles on all measurement occasions, likewise between changes of moments and changes in HKA by the operation. Thus, static alignment reflects the loading conditions during gait.Keywords
