Kinematic Alignment (KA) is a surgical technique that restores the native knee alignment following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The association of this technique with a medial pivot implant design (MP) attempts to reestablish the physiological kinematics of the knee. Aim of this study is to analyze the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients undergoing MP-TKA with kinematic alignment, and to assess the effect of the limb alignment and the orientation of the tibial component on the clinical outcomes. We retrospectively analyzed 63 patients who underwent kinematic aligned medial pivot TKA from September 2018 to January 2020. Patient-Related Outcomes (PROMs) and radiological measures were collected at baseline, 3 months and 12 months after surgery.Introduction and Objective
