Background In an effort to increase satisfaction among total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients,
emphasis has been placed on implant positioning and limb alignment. Traditionally, the aim …

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

Purpose In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), knee phenotypes including joint line obliquity are
of interest regarding surgical realignment strategies. The hypothesis of this study is that …

Purpose Evidence is emerging that tibio-femoral compartmental balancing is related to
clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to assess …

Purpose It is unclear whether a difference in functional outcome exists between
kinematically aligned (KA) and mechanically aligned (MA) knee replacements. The aim of …

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 …

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 …

Background Both restricted inverse kinematic alignment (iKA) and gap balancing aim for a
balanced total knee arthroplasty by adjusting femoral component position based on …

Purpose This study aimed to compare the effect of an image-based (MAKO) system using a
gap-balancing technique with an imageless (OMNIbot) robotic tool utilising a femur-first …

Materials and Methods: We report on surgical technique, indications, considerations, and
complications after our experience of performing 650 functionally aligned TKAs. We …
