Effects of femoral de-rotation on lower limb alignment using patient-specific guides with reliance on EOS scan, a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of midshaft femoral derotation surgery on the alignment of the lower limbs in the coronal and sagittal planes, as well as its impact on pelvic parameters in patients with significant femoral anteversion or retroversion.A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent femoral derotation procedures using a minimally invasive patient-specific external guide system from January 2014 to January 2022 at Macquarie University Hospital. The surgery was done using preoperative 3D modeling and patient-specific external guides. Inclusion criteria comprised patients presenting with hip, knee, or patellofemoral symptoms due to high femoral anteversion who had complete EOS scans performed preoperatively and postoperatively. The EOS imaging sy
