Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a satisfactory procedure for end-stage knee joint pathology.
However, there is a significant incidence of unsatisfied patients. In recent years conventional …

Kinematic alignment performed with caliper measurements and verification checks
accurately co-align the femoral and tibial components with the 3 axes and joint lines of the …

Background Achieving balanced gaps is a key surgical goal in total knee arthroplasty, yet
most methods rely on subjective surgeon feel and experience to assess and achieve knee …

Background Optimal soft-tissue management in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) may reduce
symptomatic instability. We hypothesized that TKA outcomes using a computer-assisted …

Background The traditional goal of the gap-balancing method in total knee arthroplasty is to
create equal and symmetric knee laxity throughout the arc of flexion. The purpose of this …

Purpose Varus alignment of the tibial baseplate and limb> 3° might adversely affect
baseplate fixation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), especially for unrestricted kinematically …

Background A growing body of evidence supports that kinematically aligned (KA) total knee
arthroplasty (TKA) provides superior clinical outcomes and satisfaction than mechanically …

Purpose Following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), high tibial forces, large differences in tibial
forces between the medial and lateral compartments, and anterior translation of the contact …

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery with manual instruments provides a quantitatively
balanced knee in approximately 50% of cases. This study examined the effect of combining …
