One of the most common types coronal plane alignment knee (CPAK) is type I, which characterised by varus and apex distal joint line obliquity. The purpose this study was to evaluate association changes in arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angle (aHKA) with both postoperative laxity patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) patients CPAK I following mechanical (MA) total arthroplasty (TKA).
