Posterior condylar offset and clinical outcomes in medial pivot total knee arthroplasty: A comparison of mechanical and kinematic alignment.

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the relationship between posterior condylar offset and clinical outcomes in total knee arthroplasty using different alignment methods.
• Post hoc analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial
• Comparison of mechanical alignment versus kinematic alignment
• Assessment of clinical outcomes related to posterior condylar offset
• Differences in clinical outcomes were observed between mechanical and kinematic alignment techniques
• Posterior condylar offset influenced clinical outcomes significantly for certain alignment strategies
