Using classic knee arthroplasty technique, a medial exposure in both varus and
valgus knees first involves the subperiosteal elevation of the capsule and deep MCL insertion on the proximal and medial tibia.
Restoring mechanical alignment and soft tissue balance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for
valgus knees depend on the origin of deformity and soft tissue status.[sup][1],[2],[3]
In a trial of randomized crossover design, 80 patients either wore a
valgus knee brace (Oadjuster) plus customized neutral foot orthoses and motion-control shoes or a neutral knee brace (Montana) plus flat, non-supportive foot orthoses and flexible mid-sole shoes for 12 weeks.

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee is one of the most commonly injured ligaments during sports, particularly those involving
valgus knee loading such as soccer, ice hockey and skiing [1-3].
(2006) Sex differences in
valgus knee angle during a single-leg drop jump.
However, the biophysiologic studies also identified changes in gait, suggesting that
valgus knee deformities could be exacerbated if patients with such conditions participated in yoga over a long period.
There was no significant difference between the incidence of moderate and severe (angle > 15[degrees]) varus and
valgus knee deformity between the two cohorts, which were compared in the study.
Other biomechanical studies also suggested the
valgus knee has an injury risk due to the torque applied to the knee joint (Hewett et al., 2005).
