Differences Between the Sexes in the Anatomy of the Anterior Condyle of the Knee
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 10/05/09
Fehring TK et al. – The difference in anterior condylar anatomy is mentioned as one of three reasons for the need for a so–called gender–specific knee implant. The aspect ratio reported here, which is a surrogate for patient size, seems to negate any difference in anterior condylar anatomy based on sex. The authors have shown that anterior condylar anatomy is highly variable regardless of sex. The authors believe that implants as well as surgical techniques should be designed with the variability of anterior condylar anatomy taken into account and with an attempt to reproduce such anatomy regardless of sex.
