The potential confounding influence of valgus/varus/neutral alignment, presence of hardware, and motion artifact were further analyzed.RESULTS: The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of interobserver and intraobserver reliability for measurements with both imaging modalities were excellent. Both modalities were highly correlated (Spearman coefficient, 0.930; P < .001).
