Abstract:Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is evolving from mechanical alignment to more individualized alignment options in an attempt to improve patient satisfaction. Thirteen-year survival of kinematically aligned prostheses has recently been shown to be similar to mechanically aligned TKA, allaying concerns of long-term failure of this newer individualized technique. There is a complex inter-relationship of three-dimensional knee and limb alignment for a TKA. This article will review planning parameters necessary to in… Show more
