The distal femoral fracture, tibial plateau fracture and patellar fracture may all develop into traumatic knee arthritis, which is probably associated with knee dysfunction problems. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment for end-stage knee arthritis. The distal femoral valgus cut angle (VCA) is an important reference for distal femoral resection in TKA and significantly affects postoperative prosthesis position and lower extremity alignment after TKA. For VCA, the specific methods for definition, measurement methods, clinical application and influencing factors are currently controversial. Hence, the authors review the research progress in the role of VCA in TKA from the above-mentioned four aspects, hoping to provide a reference for accurate preoperative planning and intraoperative performance of TKA.
