Purpose The objective of this study was to calculate bone resection thicknesses and
resulting gap sizes, simulating a measured resection mechanical alignment (MA) technique …

Background and purpose—Mechanical alignment techniques for total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) introduce significant anatomic alteration and secondary ligament imbalances. We …

Purpose Key concepts in total knee arthroplasty include restoration of limb alignment and
soft-tissue balance. Although differences in balance have been reported amongst …

Purpose The flexion–extension axis (FEA) of the femur is substantially changed after
mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to a discrepancy in bone cut …

Proper femoral component alignment in the axial plane during total knee arthroplasty (TKA)
depends on accurate bone cuts and soft tissue balancing. Two methods that are used to …

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

Purpose The purpose of this study was to simulate and visualise the influence of the
alignment strategy on bone resection in neutral knee phenotypes. It was hypothesised that …

Purpose The technique of adjusted mechanical alignment (AMA) in total knee arthroplasty
(TKA) has been described to achieve alignment and balancing goals in varus knees in a …

Dissatisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been extensively documented
and it was attributed to numerous factors. In recent years, significant focus has been directed …

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 …
