There is no single safe zone for the VCA to reproduce postoperative neutral coronal alignment especially in cases of severe lateral femoral bowing in TKA. However, the VCA should be analyzed in term of how much femoral bowing exists. In other words, for each subset of femoral bowing there is a safe zone for the VCA.
