Restricted kinematic alignment technique improves soft-tissue balance in knee arthroplasty, indicating potential benefits for patients.
Restricted kinematic alignment TKA using PCL retaining medial-congruent prosthesis achieved more balanced intraoperative soft-tissue tension than the mechanical alignment TKA using posterior-stabilized prosthesis. However, early postoperative walking speed did not differ between the two groups.
