No significant differences in clinical outcomes were observed between kinematic alignment (KA) and mechanical alignment (MA) after 1 year.
Post-operative alignment metrics revealed significant differences in tibial and femoral alignment, but functional performance remained comparable.
This randomized controlled trial included 100 patients, comparing two alignment methods during total knee arthroplasty.
Both alignment techniques show similar patient satisfaction levels, although kinematic alignment requires fewer soft tissue releases.
