Globally, valgus knees are less common but local studies are showing that they are in fact common in the South African setting. It is vital to understand the intricacies of managing valgus knees in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our Arthroplasty Unit recently published a narrative review in the South African Orthopaedic Journal offering invaluable insights. From recognising the greater challenges posed by the valgus knee to exploring soft tissue releases, implant choices, and technological advancements. Gain a deeper comprehension of the pathoanatomy, classification systems, and clinical assessment techniques crucial for enhancing TKA outcomes in valgus knees: https://lnkd.in/dXu2UMVg #DrSekeitto #ValgusKnee #Arthroplasty

From the abstract ⬇️ "International research suggests that poor patient compliance is the main cause of tutor failures in the context of potential novel orthopedic bivalve braces for conservative treatment of pectus carinatum. Our entire experimental study is based on the hypothesis that a rigid bivalve brace that patients can accept could solve the main problem associated with the conservative approach—poor compliance. The hypothesis was to reduce the thickness and weight of the classic bivalve brace to ensure concealment and make it sustainable enough to be worn several hours a day without compromising its therapeutic efficacy."
