The Cut Podcast Addresses Alignment Strategies

The latest episode of the Journal of Arthroplasty podcast The Cut highlight important research recently published in Knee Society Proceedings issue. Host Kim K. Tucker, MD speaks with guest Simon W. Young, MD, FRCS about his John N. Insall Award-winning prospective, randomized controlled trial in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty, “Functional vs. Mechanical Alignment in Total Knee Arthroplasty.” As Dr. Young explains, mechanical alignment in TKA is regarded as a gold standard, although some patients report dissatisfaction postsurgery; functional alignment is a potential alternative, integrating kinematic alignment principles with pre-resection bone balancing within defined boundaries.
