Sagittal Plane Knee Considerations

  • Chapter

Abstract

Because the knee has no significant abduction or adduc-tion movement, joint contracture or compensatory joint movement in the frontal plane need not be considered. Considerations of ligament laxity and intraarticular deficiency, which cause some knee motion in the frontal plane, are discussed in Chaps. 14 and Chaps. 15. Frontal plane osteotomy considerations regarding the knee are discussed in Chap 5. Deformity considerations associated with monocompartmental arthritis of the knee are discussed in Chap. 16.
