Calipered kinematically Alignment TKA of a Valgus Deformity Using the GMK SpheriKA the first KA-Optimized Knee System
Kinematic Alignment is a technique that resurfaces the knee to its pre-arthritic state. By doing so, it restores the native Joint Line Orientation, pre-arthritic alignment, and knee kinematic axes, ultimately leading to native soft tissue laxity and normal kinematic profile.
In recent yeas Kinematic Alignment has been shown to provide better functional scores and patient outcomes in different comparative studies. To potentially further improve KA results and ultimately patient satisfaction, Medacta has developed GMK SpheriKA, the first KA-optimized Knee System. In this video, Dr. S. Howell, a pioneer in kinematically aligned total knee replacement at Adventist Health Lodi Memorial (Lodi, California), demonstrates the calipered technique on a valgus deformity using the dedicated KA instrumentation, included in the MyKA platform, and GMK SpheriKA.
