Synopsis

Ninety-five patients with knee osteoarthritis were randomized to receive either kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty (TKA) (n=46) or mechanical alignment TKA (n=49). The primary outcome was the mean difference in tibial joint line angle (TJLA) in single-leg stance between the two groups. Secondary outcomes included TJLA differences based on constitutional joint line obliquity (JLO), the pr...
