Comparison of clinical and biomechanical outcomes between the kinematic and mechanical alignment methods in total knee arthroplasty: Protocol for a multicenter randomized controlled trial

Introduction: The concept of anatomic restoration has garnered considerable interest in the form of kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (KA-TKA). KA-TKAs have been reported to reproduce natural alignment and kinematics. However, few randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared the bio...
