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 …

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 …

Purpose Patient dissatisfaction rates following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reported in the
literature reach 20%. The optimal coronal alignment is still under debate. The aim of this …

Purpose One of the most pertinent questions in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is: what could
be considered normal coronal alignment? This study aims to define normal, neutral, deviant …

Purpose Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) has emerged as an alternative to
improve the results of the conventional manual TKA (C-TKA). The aim of this study was to …

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 To identify gender differences in (1) the coronal alignment of functional knee
phenotypes and (2) the JLCA (joint line convergence angle) in relation to the phenotype …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess whether kinematic alignment (KA)
outperforms mechanical alignment (MA) in restoring patellar tracking to native patterns by …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of post‐operative coronal plane
alignment of the knee (CPAK) class change on functional outcomes and determine the rate …

Purpose The aim of this study was to identify if constitutional alignment and preoperative
radiologic parameters determined whether medial gap balancing was required in …
