Kinematic Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty Reduces Polyethylene Contact Pressure by Increasing the Contact Area, When Compared to Mechanical Alignment—A Finite Element Analysis

Unrestricted Kinematic alignment (KA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) replicates the joint line of each patient by adjusting the cuts based on the anatomy of the patient. Mechanical alignment (MA) aims to restore a neutral mechanical axis of the leg, irrespective of the joint line orientation. The...
