AbstractPurposes: The importance of the femoral sagittal bowing on total knee arthroplasty is under-recognized. The bowing could lead to potential errors in positioning of the femoral component if it is ignored. We aimed to document the femoral sagittal bowing at different segments of the Chinese femur and to discuss the implications of this sagittal bowing on total knee arthroplasty. Methods: One hundred lateral radiogr aphs of the entire lower limbs of 85 Chinese patients admitted for total knee arthroplasty were digitized. The radii of curvature of the intramedullary canal of the proximal, middle and distal one-third of the femora were measured. Results: The a verage age of the patients was 67.3 years. The radii of curvature of the proximal, middle and distal one-third of the femora were 1081.6, 926.2 and 715.1 mm, respectively. The distal one-third of the femora was signi.cantly more bowed than the other parts of the femora (p < 0.001). The distal femoral bowing was more profound in rheumatoid patients and in those with a short femur. Conclusions: The lateral contour of the Chinese femur is like a hockey stick. This exaggerated sagittal bowing in the Chinese femur can affect the final sagittal position of the femoral component and has implications for the choice of implant design. In revision setting, a long and straight press-fit stem might either endanger the anterior cortex or deflect the femoral component to an extended position. © 2004 Orthopaedic Research Society.
