Mechanical alignment (MA) and its tenets have been considered essential for total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) success since they were introduced in 1973. However, over time, there …

Ligament balancing affects many of the postoperative criteria for a successful knee
replacement. A balanced knee contributes to improved alignment and stability. Ligament …

Background In a typical osteoarthritic knee with varus deformity, distal femoral resection
based off the worn medial femoral condyle may result in an elevated joint line. In a setting of …

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

Purpose: Contractures are common problems for the elderly with far reaching functional and
medical consequences. The aim of this systematic literature review was to give an overview …

Flexion contracture is a common deformity encountered during total knee arthroplasty. Most
deformities are mild and can be passively corrected at the time of surgery. Severe fixed …

Background: Traditional methods for correcting a severe varus and flexion deformity of the
knee during total knee arthroplasty can often lead to excessive release of the medial …

Purpose Flexion contracture has been shown to impair function and reduce satisfaction
following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to identify modifiable intra …

Introduction The concept of custom total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is explored with specific
attention to current limitations. Arguments in favor of custom TKA are the anatomic and …

The aims of this study were to evaluate the outcomes of patients undergoing kinematic
alignment (KA) robot-assisted (RA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with and without …
