Restricted Kinematic Alignment TKA: Cases examples

Dr Pascal-André Vendittoli is a professor of surgery at the University of Montreal, Canada who has performed kinematic alignment TKA since 2011. He proposed the “restricted” kinematic alignment protocol (rKA) to reliably produce a prosthetic knee with component/knee/limb alignments that always fall within an evidence-based safe alignment range which is compatible with long term implant survivorship. In the current video, he will present different clinical case examples of how to apply the rKA protocol.
