Better clinical outcome with kinematically vs. mechanically aligned TKAs .
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
A randomised controlled trial of kinematically and mechanically aligned total knee replacements: Two-year clinical results
Bone Joint J. 2014 Jul;96-B(7):907-13. doi: 10.1302/0301-620X.96B7.32812.120 patients with end-stage arthritis were randomized to either undergo kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with patient-specific guides or mechanically aligned TKA with intramedullary instrumentation, to compare outcomes of pain, function, and range of motion after 2 years. The results indicated that clinical outcomes, proportion of pain-free patients, and flexion active range of motion all favoured patients in the kinematically alignment TKA group over patients in the mechanically aligned TKA group at the 2-year follow-up. Alignment of the knee joint and femoral component was more valgus in the kinematically aligned TKA group whereas tibial component was more varus.
