Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants already scheduled fo r knee arthroplasty or tibial osteotomy . Attendance at a 10-minute session involving capture of standardized x-ray , measurement of height and weight, and completion of a questionnaire regarding shoe size, with each component taking approximately 2 minutes to complete.
1 day prior to knee arthroplasty or tibial osteotomy, etc.
Once only examination.
The assessment wil be perfomed by study researcher - orthopaedic surgeon.
Intervention code [1] 319917 0
Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
Participants are tested only once because the aim of the study is to try to find a correlation between the height and length of the foot and the length of the tibia and femur. The control group will be volunteer employees of the ward of similar age who will give their consent to the study.

Statistical methods / analysis
The length range of individual parts of the limb will be determined in relation to the height and size of the shoes, along with the standard deviation of the above parameters. We operate on about 400 people a year due to osteoarthritis of the knee, so we should easily gather a group of 200 patients.
