Effective measurement of knee alignment using AP knee radiographs

Knee, 2009
The gold standard for measuring knee alignment is mechanical axis determined using full-limb radiographs (FLR). Measurement of joint alignment using antero-posterior (AP) knee radiographs is more accessible, economical and involves less radiation exposure to the patient compared with using full-limb radiographs. The aim of this study was to compare and

Kinematic alignment in total knee arthroplasty [PDF]

EFORT Open Reviews, 2020
Kinematic alignment (KA) is an alternative philosophy for aligning a total knee replacement (TKR) which aims to restore all three kinematic axes of the native knee. Many of the studies on KA have actually described non-KA techniques, which has led to much confusion about what actually fits the definition of KA.

Biplanar radiographic analysis of knee alignment: a stepwise approach for phenotype classification and knee arthroplasty planning [PDF]

EFORT Open Reviews
This review presents a standardized, stepwise method for biplanar radiographic analysis of knee alignment, integrating both coronal and sagittal measurements for use in arthritic and non-arthritic knees.: It critically compares leading classification ...

Pre- and post-operative knee alignment phenotypes in restricted kinematic alignment, mechanical alignment total knee arthroplasty, and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

Journal of Joint Surgery and Research
Purpose: The coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification has been introduced as a simple system to classify knee phenotypes based on leg alignment [hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) and joint line obliquity (JLO)].

Current concepts in total knee arthroplasty: mechanical, kinematic, anatomical, and functional alignment

Bone & Joint Open, 2021
Limb alignment in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) influences periarticular soft-tissue tension, biomechanics through knee flexion, and implant survival. Despite this, there is no uniform consensus on the optimal alignment technique for TKA.

The influence of varus and valgus deviation on the contact area of patellofemoral joint in healthy knees

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023
Object Varus-valgus lower alignment is a risk factor for patellofemoral osteoarthritis, but malalignment alone affect not only the tibiofemoral joint but also the patellofemoral joint.

Kinematically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty or Mechanically Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty [PDF]

The Journal of Knee Surgery, 2018
AbstractKinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KATKA) was developed to more anatomically align the knee prosthesis to restore the native alignment of the knee and promote physiological kinematics. Even though there are concerns with implant survival, and follow-up at 10 years or more after KATKA has not been reported, there is a negligible ...

Individual Phenotype Does Not Impact the Outcome of Mechanical Aligned Total Knee Arthroplasties for Valgus Osteoarthritis

Medicina, 2023
Background and Objectives: There is an ongoing discussion about the best alignment targets in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Mechanical alignment has been the standard in TKA for years.
