Popis: The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of functional knee phenotypes in a non-osteoarthritic Asian population. The Stryker Orthopaedic Modeling and Analytics (SOMA) database was searched for CT scans of the lower limb meeting the following inclusion criteria: patient age at time of image >18 and p < 0.001) but a higher FMA (males p < 0.05, females p < 0.001) than Caucasian knees but showed no difference in the HKA. Asian knees differed significantly with regard to femoral and tibial phenotypes (p < 0.01), but not with regard to limb phenotypes. The high variability of all coronal alignment parameters highlights the importance of a detailed analysis prior to TKA. Ethnical differences underline the need for a more individualized approach in TKA.
