Functional alignment preserves the native Coronal Plane Alignment of the Knee phenotype while improving early clinical outcomes after robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty.
Background Functional alignment (FA) has emerged as a personalized strategy for robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (ra-TKA), aiming to preserve constitutional knee anatomy and native soft-tissue balance. However, evidence directly comparing robotic-assisted FA and mechanical alignment (MA) using the same robotic...
