DOI: 10.1002/ksa.12452
Abstract: Abstract Purpose While restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with cemented implants has been shown to provide a similar survivorship rate to mechanical alignment (MA) in the short term, no studies have reported… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ksa.70010
Abstract: Abstract Kinematic alignment is increasingly adopted in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) as a patient‐specific strategy to restore native joint anatomy. However, its reliance on static radiographic measurements may not adequately reflect real‐world functional biomechanics. This… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00167-018-5174-1
Abstract: PurposeKinematic alignment technique for TKA aims to restore the individual knee anatomy and ligament tension, to restore native knee kinematics. The aim of this study was to compare parameters of kinematics during gait (knee flexion–extension,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1055/a-1689-5118
Abstract: Nowadays, kinematic alignment is a widely used alignment philosophy in total knee arthroplasty. The concept of kinematic alignment respects the patient's individual prearthrotic anatomy and is based on the reconstruction of the femoral anatomy and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/17453674.2019.1675126
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.

DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000003193
Abstract: Background There is continuing debate about the ideal philosophy for component alignment in TKA. However, there are limited long-term functional and radiographic data on randomized comparisons of kinematic alignment versus mechanical alignment. Questions/purposes We present… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11010062
Abstract: Because kinematic alignment (KA) aligns femoral components in greater valgus and with less external rotation than mechanical alignment (MA), the trochlear groove of an MA design used in KA is medialized, which can lead to… read more here.
