Module: Achieving normal kinematics in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA)

Introduction

This module will highlight experts analysis, evidence and data on how knee kinematics is affected by articular and soft-tissue geometry in Total Knee Arthroplasty. Outlining key considerations such as surgical technique, prosthetic design and alignment, experts will help understanding how to achieve the more normal kinematics pattern with operated knees.

Pre-requisites

None

What you will learn

Distinguish the key elements offering the potential to a more normal knee after TKA with physiologic and anatomic knee prosthetic design
Synthesize the most current research study findings in knee replacement relating alignment and components design
Review and interpret the latest study outcomes to improving outcomes and patient quality of life
