Abstract

Abstract:

The unresolved dissatisfaction fraction after total knee arthroplasty has been a bottleneck hindering its further development. Recently, a new concept called kinematic alignment arisen and is now drawing researcher’s attention. This kind of new alignment restores the normal kinematic axes of the knee, thus potentially improving functional recovery and perception of patient. This article summarized the theoretical basis, concept, basic implementation principles, current research status and concern of the kinematic alignment, in order to strengthen the understanding of kinematic alignment.

Key words: Arthroplasty, replacement, knee, Humans, Knee Joint, Anatomy
