Background Kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has emerged as an
alternative approach to the intraoperative alignment targets of mechanically aligned (MA) …

Although mechanical alignment (MA) has traditionally been considered the gold standard,
the optimal alignment strategy for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is still debated. Kinematic …

Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA), aiming at neutral mechanical alignment (MA),
inevitably modifies the patient's native knee anatomy. Another option is kinematic alignment …

Kinematic alignment (KA) is an alternative philosophy for aligning a total knee replacement
(TKR) which aims to restore all three kinematic axes of the native knee. Many of the studies …

This meta-analysis was conducted to study whether kinematically aligned total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) improves short-term functional outcomes compared with mechanical …

Restoration of an overall neutral mechanical axis has been a long-held tenet in total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). Numerous biomechanical, finite element, and clinical studies have …

Introduction Kinematic alignment (KA) has increased in popularity in recent years, becoming
a viable alternative to MA with encouraging short-and mid-term follow-up results. Recently …

Aims Alternative alignment concepts, including kinematic and restricted kinematic, have
been introduced to help improve clinical outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) …

Purpose Total knee arthroplasty with functional alignment uses pre-resection balancing to
determine component position within the soft tissue envelope to achieve balance and …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to
determine whether there are any clinical or radiological differences in mechanically aligned …
