Yadav, Dr. Arun Mullaji Why have an alignment philosophy and then restrict it? Mechanical Alignment (MA): The objective is to cut the femur and tibia perpendicular to the mechanical axis in the coronal plane Inverse Kinematic Alignment (IKA): The objective is to restore the native tibial anatomy by removing bone & cartilage corresponding to the implant thickness on the medial & lateral tibial condyle, therefore the native tibial joint obliquity (JLO) is restored Kinematic Alignment (KA): The objective is restoring the joint line through anatomic resurfacing, hence aligning the components to the flexion / extension axis of the native knee. The knee is balanced by recreating the angle of the native tibia Restricted Kinematic Alignment (RKA): Applying boundaries to KA principles to prevent extreme implant positions in patients with an atypical anatomy
