Abstract Purpose Unrestricted kinematic alignment (uKA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) creates a challenge for trochlear design. Femoral implants designed for mechanical alignment (MA) use asymmetrical posterior bone cuts to adjust axial rotation and optimize patellofemoral tracking. In uKA, posterior bone cuts are calipered resections.
