Alignment techniques in total knee arthroplasty

Purpose: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) reduces knee pain to improve knee function for painful knee osteoarthritis and provides excellent long-term survivorship. However, approximately 20% of patients remain dissatisfied. To improve patient satisfaction, several modifications of knee alignment have r...
