Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
rotational side-to-side difference after surgery within the same hospital stay using the CT axial cut of whole femur and measure the angle between neck of femur and posterior condylar axis then use the difference between two side of femur,Acceptable side-to-side rotational alignment, after surgery within the same hospital stay side-to-side angle that is less than 8 degree is consider acceptable then it is calculate in to percentage for each group,Coronal side-to-side difference after surgery within the same hospital stay using the film knee AP, measuring the angle between joint line and femur shaft and compare then angle between normal and surgery side,Acceptable side-to-side coronal alignment after surgery within the same hospital stay side-to-side angle that is less than 8 degree is consider acceptable then it is calculate in to percentage for each group	—
