"Surgeons should consider obtaining global sagittal alignment radiographs in high-risk patients, particularly elderly individuals or those with evident postural abnormalities, as the CAM-SVA measurement provides valuable prognostic information that can inform patient counseling and surgical planning [ xref ]."

"Based on the biomechanical evidence supporting the interconnected nature of the knee–hip–spine kinetic chain and preliminary observations of compensatory mechanisms in sagittal plane deformities, it was hypothesized that patients with greater preoperative global sagittal malalignment, as measured by the center of the acoustic meatus-sagittal vertical axis (CAM-SVA), would demonstrate increased risk of KFC progression following TKA due to persistent compensatory biomechanical demands."

"Patients with KFC progression exhibited significantly altered preoperative global sagittal alignment compared with those without progression, including greater CAM-SVA (51.3 ± 63.8 vs. 7.2 ± 43.9 mm, p < 0.01), greater SVA (74.4 ± 49.5 vs. 36.0 ± 41.1 mm, p < 0.01), and a larger standing knee flexion angle (16.4 ± 7.5 vs. 11.0 ± 7.4°, p < 0.01)."
