Closed‐leg standing long leg radiographs can be a useful tool to assess whether the joint line is parallel to the ground in restricted kinematic alignment total knee arthroplasty

Abstract Purpose Restricted kinematic alignment (rKA) is a modified technique of kinematic alignment (KA) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for patients with an outlier or atypical knee anatomy, striving to preserve the native knee joint line parallel to the ground in a bipedal stance. This study aimed...
