Effect of lengthening along the anatomical axis of the femur and its clinical impact
AIM: To review and study the effect of lengthening along the anatomical axis of long bones and its relation to the mechanical axis deviation.METHODS: We try in this review to calculate and discuss the exact clinical impact of lengthening along the anatomical axis of the femur on affecting the limb alignment. Also we used a trigonometric formula to predict the change of the femoral distal anatomica
