• Epidemiology of Osteoarthritis (2010, positive): “In a prospective cohort study, Sharma et al (85) demonstrated that in the presence of existing knee OA, abnormal anatomic alignment was strongly associated with accelerated structural deterioration in the compartment under greatest compressive stress (85).”
• Why is Osteoarthritis an Age-Related Disease? (2010, background): “In the knee, a varus alignment is strongly associated with the development of medial compartment disease while valgus alignment predisposes to lateral compartment disease [48].”
• Bone Marrow Edema and Its Relation to Progression of Knee Osteoarthritis (2003, background): “In a recent longitudinal study (11), patients with varus alignment were at high risk for subsequent medial progression of knee osteoarthritis, while limbs with valgus alignment were at commensurately high risk for lateral progression.”
