  1. Student’s unpaired t-test was used to compare quantitative variables between two groups, whereas chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables
  2. A p-value< 0.05 indicates statistical significance
  3. Varus alignment is defined as tibiofemoral angle <178o
  4. Valgus alignment is defined as tibiofemoral angle >182o
  5. Abbreviation: PFC, Press Fit Condylar; SD, standard deviation; min, minimum; max, maximum
