CALIPERED KINEMATICALLY ALIGNED TOTAL KNEE ARTH...

Calipered kinematic alignment was proposed by Dr. Stephen M. Howell to enable the accurate and
individualized placement of total knee components coincident within ?± 0.5 mm of the patient's
pre-arthritic alignment. The aim was to restore the patient's native joint kinematics and
thereby address the well documented 20% dissatisfaction when total knee replacement is
performed using traditional  or mechanical alignment techniques. With Dr. Stefano A. Bini and
Dr. G. Daxton Steele as co-editors  Dr. Howell has curated an?international team of expert
surgeons and engineers?to discuss various aspects of the calipered knee alignment technique in
short  concise  and well-illustrated chapters.?Each author provides clear  practical
guidance?for adopting and implementing calipered kinematic alignment covering manual 
patient-specific  navigated  and robotic techniques.?Chapters on component design tailored
explicitly for kinematic alignment and showing the close relationship between knee biomechanics
and the kinematically aligned TKA help the surgeon manage complex challenges associated with
deformity and post-operative complications. Following the introduction of the calipered
kinematic alignment technique for total knee arthroplasty  many international studies have
shown consistently better patient satisfaction than the traditional mechanical alignment
technique. Better function and high long-term implant survival have catalyzed a paradigm shift
in total knee replacement philosophy that is being embraced by orthopedic surgeons and
innovative implant companies around the world with excellent results.
