DOI: 10.1007/s00167-018-5220-z
Abstract: PurposeKinematic alignment (KA) and mechanical alignment (MA) position the prosthetic trochlea that guides patellar tracking differently. The present study determined whether KA or MA more closely restores the groove location and sulcus angle of the… read more here.
