    Proper alignment in total knee arthroplasty minimizes mechanical failures. Adhering to surgical techniques ensures optimal outcomes, reducing the need for revision surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomechanical Engineering

    Background:

    • Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to restore function and reduce pain.
    • Mechanical failures can occur due to improper surgical technique and alignment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline key technical principles for achieving optimal alignment in total knee arthroplasty.
    • To identify critical osteotomy parameters for successful TKA outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical techniques for total knee arthroplasty.
    • Analysis of critical bone cuts and ligament balancing.
    • Recommendations for managing bone defects and deformities.

    Main Results:

    • Correctly aligned TKAs demonstrate minimal mechanical failures.
