Abstract excerpt
Mechanical alignment (MA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) pursues a neutral mechanical axis but may alter constitutional coronal morphology and require soft-tissue release. Functional alignment (FA), by contrast, is a soft-tissue-respecting strategy that achieves balance through individualized adjustment of implant position and bone resection, with little or no ligament release. The coronal plane alignment of...
