Kinematic Knee Replacement

Kinematic total knee replacement is an approach that aims to position the implants to recreate a patient’s natural knee alignment and movement before arthritis, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. It is more personalized and reduces the need for soft-tissue or ligament releases because the bone cuts are planned to restore the patient’s natural balance.

Benefits of kinematic knee replacement include:

• Natural Feel: The implants are positioned to match your natural knee anatomy rather than a standardized alignment, which may feel more natural post-surgery.
• Ligament Sparing: The bone cuts are planned around your natural alignment, which often means there is less need to release or adjust ligaments during surgery.
• Faster Recovery: Because there is less trauma to the soft tissues and ligaments, recovery can be quicker and less painful.
