Pre- and post-operative knee alignment phenotypes in restricted kinematic alignment, mechanical alignment total knee arthroplasty, and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty

Purpose: The coronal plane alignment of the knee (CPAK) classification has been introduced as a simple system to classify knee phenotypes based on leg alignment [hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA) and joint line obliquity (JLO)]. Differences in post-operative phenotype between mechanical alignment (MA) and...
