Kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty restores the native anatomy, with a joint line parallel to the ground on a standing view
There were no differences in pre- and postoperative radiographic measurements and alignment of the lower limb in patients undergoing KA-TKA, with the joint line orientation parallel to the ground on weight-bearing radiographs in all patients. Longer-term follow-up is necessary to assess the functional outcome and study implant survival of KA-TKA.
