Twenty one individuals who had undergone unilateral total meniscectomy, and had no significant antero-posterior (AP) laxity underwent three dimensional (3-D) gait analysis, bilateral radiological assessment of varus/valgus alignment and tibio-femoral osteoarthritis (TFOA). Average foot progression a...
