Clinical outcomes of restricted kinematic alignment versus mechanical alignment in total knee arthroplasty: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Abstract Background Restricted Kinematic Alignment (rKA) is a well-established technique for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that aims to approximate natural knee motion within defined safety boundaries. This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of rKA compared to mechanical alignment...
