However, the relationship between the changes in HKA angle and HFA is still not well studied. This study aimed to investigate the association between HKA angle and hindfoot alignment changes after TKA for varus knee osteoarthritis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A prospective study was carried out in which 108 patients with varus knee deformities were radiographically and clinically evaluated before and 3 months after TKA. The relationship of change in HFA with correction in HKA angle was investigated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The results showed that the HFA was adjusted significantly by 3 months after TKA (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001), along with improved American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle hindfoot score (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Next, a univariate correlation and linear regression analysis showed that the change in HFA was weakly correlated with the change in HKA angle (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      =-0.262, \u03b2=-0.14, 95\u2009% CI: -0.23 to -0.04,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.006). Further stratified analysis and interaction tests revealed that age has a distinct effect on the correlation between the changes in HFA and HKA angle. The correlation was dramatically greater in the group under 65 years (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      =-0.474, \u03b2=-0.26, 95\u2009% CI: -0.41 to -0.12,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001), whilst, no correlation was observed in those above 65 years old (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      =-0.036, \u03b2=-0.02, 95\u2009% CI: -0.14 to 0.11,\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.779).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings indicated that correction of HKA after TKA tend to promote adjustment in the hindfoot alignment toward re-balance of the whole lower limb weight-bearing axis. However, this mechanism obviously weakens in elderly patients. Therefore, if apparent hindfoot deformity exists in these patients before TKA, more perioperative intervention is required for hindfoot adjustment, and even HKA undercorrection may be considered.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12891-021-04488-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,6]],"date-time":"2021-07-06T13:02:38Z","timestamp":1625576558000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Association between changes in hip-knee-ankle angle and hindfoot alignment after total knee arthroplasty for varus knee osteoarthritis"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Naicheng","family":"Diao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fei","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lifeng","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heyong","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ai","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"4488_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1016\/j.artd.2016.01.006","volume":"2","author":"S Jain","year":"2016","unstructured":"Jain S, Pathak AC, Kalaivanan K.
