Purpose It has been hypothesized that under-correction of a preoperative varus deformity
may be more natural and improve outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study's …

Purpose Preoperative varus deformity may affect postoperative mechanical alignment and
outcomes of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). In this study, we aimed to determine whether (1) …

Purpose Restoration of correct alignment is one of the main objectives of total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). However, the influence of residual malalignment on clinical and …

Purpose of the study To document and compare the functional outcome of neutral alignment
and under-correction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in severe varus knees of more than …

Background Recent popularity of kinematic alignment and constitutional varus has caused
some surgeons to leave varus limbs in residual varus after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) …

Comparing mainly clinical and functional outcomes as well as prosthesis survival with
neutral and residual mild varus alignment, we searched PubMed, Embase, Cochrane …

Background: There is an ongoing debate whether patients with constitutional varus should
be restored to neutral mechanical alignment following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) …

Purpose Postoperative neutral limb alignment [femorotibial mechanical axis (FTMA)
180°±3°] is generally considered to be one of the prerequisites for successful total knee …

Background Restoration of correct coronal alignment is one of the main goals of total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). Traditionally, TKA has been considered successful when a neutral …

Background Functional alignment (FA) strives to balance the knee soft-tissue envelope
during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using implant alignment adjustments rather than soft …
