The article discusses the concept of kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (TKA), which involves restoring the natural alignment and joint line obliquity of the knee. The authors argue that performing unrestricted kinematically aligned TKA, without imposing restrictions on alignment, can lead to positive outcomes such as high implant survival rates, improved joint scores, and restoration of native knee kinematics. They address concerns that limited the early adoption of this approach, including potential implant failure and regulatory approval. The authors conclude that unrestricted kinematically aligned TKA can be performed safely and effectively, and provide recommendations for surgeons implementing this technique.
