Kinematic Alignment Produces Improved Flexion and Forgotten Joint Scores Compared to Mechanical Alignment in Primary Medial-Pivot Knee Arthroplasty
Debates continue over which surgical approach yields better outcomes in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA): kinematic alignment or mechanical alignment. A prospective, multicenter study was conducted comparing these strategies in patients with “ball-in-socket” medial-pivot implants. We hypothesized that kinematic alignment would yield superior outcomes.
