Summary |
Varus deviation as defined by Thomine is the basis for understanding load distribution between the medial and lateral tibial plateau; it was originally defined in the frontal plane. Analysis in the sagittal and horizontal planes leads to a concept of varizing area. Varizing area sheds light on how, during gait, load predominates in the medial and posteromedial knee. It also accounts for the following two findings: (a) degenerative lesions are mainly medial, even when the mid-knee axis is normal; (b) degenerative lesions are mainly posterior.
