Abstract
Today, the number of people affected by gonarthrosis symptoms is increasing proportionally. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful intervention that aims to reduce pain and restore knee function. However, studies have shown that active young patients still have limitations in performing activities such as skiing, golfing, surfing, and dancing. Over the last few years, total knee arthroplasty has undergone significant changes. Most of the modern TKA implants are designed to reproduce the normal biomechanics of the knee joint, mimicking the physiological pattern with greater compliance in the medial compartment between the tibial insert and femoral condyle and less congruence on the lateral side. Unfortunately, functional outcomes are compromised in approximately half of TKA patients. This loss may be caused by the abnormal kinematics and inherent instability of many contemporary implants. The proper alignment of the femoral component during TKA is a crucial step that influences postoperative results. The position of the femoral component in the axial plane is responsible for flexion stability, knee joint kinematics, flexion alignment, and patellar tracking. The main goal when choosing a type of prosthesis is to achieve an adequate recovery that leads to an improvement in mobility and an increase in the efficiency of the quadriceps.
