Abstract: Background and purpose — Mechanical alignment techniques for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) introduce significant anatomic alteration and secondary ligament imbalances. We propose a restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) protocol to minimize these issues and improve TKA… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002245
Abstract: Abstract Background Kinematic alignment is an alternative approach to mechanical alignment. Kinematic alignment can restore the joint line to its prearthritic condition, and its advocates have suggested it may be associated with other benefits. But… read more here.
