Abstract
Abstract Background This study aims to comprehensively examine the distal femoral valgus cut angle (VCA) utilized during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in the Turkish population and identify the radiological and demographic factors influencing this critical surgical parameter. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 193 lower extremity orthoradiographs from 120 patients diagnosed with end-stage knee osteoarthritis between January 2020 and December 2023. Key radiological variables assessed included VCA, mechanical femorotibial angle (MTFA), neck-shaft angle (NSA), medial offset (MO), a
