PURPOSE: To compare clinical outcomes in varus-aligned patients undergoing cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with mechanical alignment (MA) versus unrestricted kinematic alignment (KA). The hypothesis was that KA would yield superior outcomes, and that preserving joint line obliquity-regardless of alignment technique-would be associated with better results. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of...
