Abstract
Lower limb deformities are often present in patients who require joint replacement surgery of the knee or hip. Most of these can be managed by modification of the standard bone cuts and soft tissue releases that are normally required for implantation of the prosthesis. Some deformities require additional osteotomies and soft tissue procedures. This chapter focuses on the preoperative and intraoperative planning and strategies required to accomplish this realignment together with total joint replacement. An understanding of the normal alignment parameters for TKR and total hip replacement is the basis of all further considerations. Many of these principles have been developed by Hungerford (1995) and Krackow (1990) and described in several publications.
