Functional alignment minimizes changes to joint line obliquity in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty: a CT analysis of functional versus kinematic alignment in 2,116 knees using the Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee (CPAK) classification
Functional alignment may alter CPAK type, but does not significantly change JLO. A kinematic starting point minimizes changes to native anatomy, while final position with FA provides an optimally balanced TKA.
