Mechanical alignment for primary TKA may change both knee phenotype and joint line obliquity without influencing clinical outcomes: a study comparing restored and unrestored joint line obliquity.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), knee phenotypes including joint line obliquity are of interest regarding surgical realignment strategies. The hypothesis of this study is that better clinical results, including decreased postoperative knee pain, will be observed for patients with a restored knee phenotype. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on prospective data, including 1078 primary...
