Successful total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has often been based on the restoration of the knee
to neutral alignment postoperatively. Numerous reports have linked malaligned TKA …

Purpose Restoration of correct alignment is one of the main objectives of total knee
arthroplasty (TKA). However, the influence of residual malalignment on clinical and …

Background Kinematically aligned TKA restores function by aligning the femoral and tibial
components to the normal or prearthritic joint lines of the knee. However, aligning the …

Background: Computer navigation for total knee arthroplasty has improved alignment
compared with that resulting from non-navigated total knee arthroplasty. This study analyzed …

Purpose Performing kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with generic
instruments is less costly than patient-specific instrumentation; however, the alignment and …

Background Neutral mechanical alignment (MA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to
position femoral and tibial components perpendicular to the mechanical axis of the limb. In …

Recently, there is a growing interest in surgical variables that are intraoperatively controlled
by orthopaedic surgeons, including lower leg alignment, component positioning and soft …

Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has shown improved reproducibility and
precision in mechanical alignment restoration, with improvement in early functional …

Robots have been used in surgery since the late 1980s. Orthopaedic surgery began to
incorporate robotic technology in 1992, with the introduction of ROBODOC, for the planning …
