Comparison of Patellar Tracking Following Kinematic Alignment Versus Mechanical Alignment Total Knee Arthroplasty via the Mini-Subvastus Approach.
Orthop Surg . 2025 May;17(5):1369-1377.Synopsis
Two hundred forty-four patients with varus knee osteoarthritis were randomized to receive (kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA) (n=126) or mechanical alignment total knee arthroplasty (MA-TKA) (n=118), all via a mini-subvastus approach using a cruciate retaining (CR) fixed-bearing prosthesis (no patellar resurfacing).
