Mechanical alignment (MA)‐total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been challenged due to the excessive soft tissue release and the evidence of the clinical outcomes of computer assisted navigation is still limited. The aim of this ambispective cohort study was to: (i) investigate whether computer assisted navigation is capable to achieve restricted kinematic alignment (rKA)‐TKA; and (ii) compare the short‐term outcomes between rKA‐TKA and MA‐TKA.
