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: 10.1097/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.

Differences in Trochlear Morphology of a New Femoral Component Designed for Kinematic Alignment from a Mechanical Alignment Design
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Bioengineering"
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.
