Restricted Inverse Kinematic Alignment Better Restores the Native Joint Line Orientation While Achieving Similar Balance, Laxity, and Arithmetic Hip-Knee-Ankle Angle to Gap Balancing Total Knee Arthroplasty

Restricted Inverse Kinematic Alignment Better Restores the Native Joint Line Orientation While Achieving Similar Balance, Laxity, and Arithmetic Hip-Knee-Ankle Angle to Gap Balancing Total Knee Arthroplasty

Background: Both restricted inverse kinematic alignment (iKA) and gap balancing aim for a balanced total knee arthroplasty by adjusting femoral component position based on ligamentous gaps. However, iKA targets a native tibial joint line vs resecting perpendicular to the mechanical axis. This study...
