Here are four observations:
1. Eighty-four percent of the patients achieved perfect neutral coronal mechanical alignment of 0 degrees.
2. The other 16 percent of patients experienced within +/-2 degrees of neutral.
3. Dr. Levengood recorded an average preoperative deformity of 5.57 degrees among the patients and a postoperative average of 0.18 degrees.
4. No patients experienced postoperative extension deficits, while 40 had preoperative extension deficits.
