Restoration of Constitutional Alignment Optimizes Outcomes of Computer Navigated TKA .
High Impact
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.

Restoration of constitutional alignment optimizes outcomes of computer navigated total knee arthroplasty: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Int Orthop . 2024 Apr;48(4):971-981.

Thirty-eight patients (76 knees) with end-stage arthritis were randomized to receive computer-navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using constitutional alignment (n=38 knees) or mechanical alignment (n=38 knees). The primary outcome was the accuracy of component positioning and restoration of native knee alignment. Secondary outcomes included clinical measures such as the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, and radiographic alignment metrics. Outcomes were assessed at intervals up to 42 months. Overall, the study revealed that the navigated constitutional alignment group achieved higher radiographic accuracy and better early clinical outcomes, particularly in cases with severe preoperative deformity. These findings suggest that navigation with constitutional alignment may optimize early functional and alignment outcomes in TKA.
