Abstract |
Patient specific alignment might improve clinical outcomes in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Different alignment concepts are described, each providing specific features with theoretical benefits or possible disadvantages. Inverse kinematic alignment (iKA) is a new patient specific alignment concept with excellent reported clinical outcome and patient satisfaction at short-term follow-up. iKA is a tibia-first, gap balancing technique restoring the native tibial joint line obliquity (JLO). In each patient, within boundaries, equal medial and lateral tibial resections are performed, compensating for cartilage and bone loss. We describe the surgical technique of iKA using a robotic assisted system (Mako, Stryker, Kalamazoo, USA). A case series of 100 consecutive iKA cases is assessed and the bony resections and resection angles are reported. Both in the coronal plane and axial plane, iKA might offer advantages over existing alignment strategies, possibly providing optimal clinical outcome and durable long-term survival, regardless of the alignment is varus, neutral or valgus.
