ABSTRACT

Background: knee angular deformities are common in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. There are many clinic and radiographic methods to measure knee deformities, each one has its own features.
Objective: to propose an easy and quick method to measure angular knee deformities.
Methods: a four month research was conducted from April 1st, 2018 to June 30th, 2018. It was included 213 articles published in PubMed, Hinari, SciELO and Medline databases using EndNote. The words used were knee angular deformities, measurement of knee deformities, measures and knee angular deformities. Thirty two citations were selected for the review, of them twenty nine within the last five years.
Development: clinical and radiographic features in patients with angular deformities were described. Specific X-ray view features were pointed out to measure deformity. Advantages and disadvantages about mechanic and anatomic axis measures were mentioned. Based on literature review a new method is proposed to be used in digital and plain radiographic slides.
Conclusions: the proposed measure method can be used in digital and plain radiographic slides at our health institutions.
