• Subchondral bone in osteoarthritis: insight into risk factors and microstructural changes (2013, background): “In a population study of 2,644 knees, both valgus and varus alignment, resulting from genetic, developmental, and traumatic factors, were found to be highly associated with the development of OA [80].”
• The Rotterdam Study: 2010 objectives and design update (2007, background): “determined the most prominent risk factors leading to OA [87, 88].”
• Epidemiology of Osteoarthritis (2010, positive): “The results from the Rotterdam study found that among knees with K/L grade 0 and 1, knees with valgus alignment had a 54% increased risk and knees with varus alignment had a twofold increased risk for the development of radiographic knee OA, compared with normal aligned knees (88).”
