Targeting the neutral hip-to-calcaneus axis in kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty is feasible with fewer alignment outliers for varus osteoarthritic patients
PurposeAssessment of the conventional mechanical axis (MA) (hip-to-talus axis) is reported to result in constitutional varus in the native knee....
