Objective The objective of kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty is to implant the
prosthesis according to the individual joint line, leg axis and ligament tension. Indications …

This lecture outlines the various alignment philosophies for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is
logical that our desire to improve clinical outcomes for TKA involves a more personalized …

In the last 10 years many studies have questioned if the strive to mechanical align any knee
may pose some problems related to ligament misbalancing that could explain the high rate …

Numerous reports have linked malaligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA) components with
increased wear, poor functional outcomes, and possibly early failure due to component …

Purpose A systematic review was conducted to answer the following questions:(1) Does
kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) achieve clinical outcomes …

Background The optimal alignment technique for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains
controversial. We previously reported 6-month and 2-year results of a randomized controlled …

The purpose of this study was to compare 2 alignment methods for total knee arthroplasty
(TKA): kinematic alignment with the use of patient-specific guides and mechanical alignment …

The perfect placement of the femoral and tibial components is the most important predictor of
the best clinical outcome in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Clinical studies prove substantial …

Aims Our aim was to compare kinematic with mechanical alignment in total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). Patients and Methods We performed a prospective blinded randomised …

Background Kinematic and mechanical alignment outcomes in total knee arthroplasty
remain controversial. This study compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of total …
