This study demonstrates that there are no significant differences in coronal femoral component alignment among using the DFVC angle of 4°, 5°, and 6°. The use of the DFVC angle of 6° had a trend to reduce the outliers. Nevertheless, femoral bowing is the crucial influencing factor for selecting the degree of DFVC angle.
