Kinematically aligned medial pivot knee implant duplicates natural alignment, stability

Total knee arthroplasty has offered great benefit to patients in recent decades. Although many patients are satisfied, studies show about 20% of them are not.
Presented is a philosophy of restoring the patient’s joint line and stability by implant choice and alignment choice to make the patient’s knee feel more natural. The surgical technique and specialized instruments are discussed.
The best way to restore function is to restore, as best possible, the patient’s normal anatomy and kinematics. Kinematic alignment (KA) restores the patient’s femoral joint surface and
