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 This meta-analysis compared the results of kinematic alignment (KA) and
mechanical alignment (MA) applied in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods Randomized …

Purpose A systematic review was conducted to answer the following questions:(1) Does
kinematically aligned (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) achieve clinical outcomes …

Purpose Kinematic alignment in TKA is supposed to restore function by aligning the
components to the premorbid flexion–extension axis instead of altering the joint line and …

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

Background: This meta-analysis compared clinical and radiographic outcomes and
complications of kinematic alignment (KA) and mechanical alignment (MA) techniques in …

In the last 10 years many studies have questioned if the strive to mechanical align any knee
may pose some problems related to ligament misbalancing that could explain the high rate …

In spite of improvements in implant designs and surgical precision, functional outcomes of
mechanically aligned total knee arthroplasty (MA TKA) have plateaued. This suggests …

Successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has often been based on the restoration of the knee
to neutral alignment postoperatively. Numerous reports have linked malaligned TKA …

Background Kinematic alignment for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may be one way of
improving outcomes. Previous studies have either used patient-specific instrumentation …
