Abstract:
Many factors contribute to a successful total knee arthroplasty, and postoperative coronal lower limb alignment has always been a focus of joint surgeons. Previous researches have suggested that neutral alignment can bring higher prosthesis survival rate and better knee function. However, the theory has been challenged in recent years.In this article, the author introduces the axis, alignment and osteotomy of total knee arthroplasty briefly and reviews the studies on the neutral alignment and kinematic alignment of recent years in order to provide some advice for the clinical operation.
