Kinematic alignment achieves a tibial joint line angle that is more parallel to the floor in single-leg stance than mechanical alignment
A TJLA parallel to the floor in single-leg stance is achieved more readily with KA than MA, but is dependent on constitutional JLO. A parallel TJLA during this phase of gait is more likely achieved when alignment is individualized to the patient's native anatomy.
